Is it possible to disable autorefresh in snap? This link says that Snaps are updated automatically in the background to the latest version, every day. Some snaps (e.g. vlc) are built daily, and it makes no sense to install them every day.

it's currently not possible to do so,however,you can schedule the time when the snaps are being automatically updated to your liking with this command
sudo snap set core refresh.schedule=8:00-20:00
In this case the updates will happen only once a day between 8pm and 8am(An example)

``` snap set core refresh.schedule=20-8 error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Run configure hook of "core" snap (run hook "configure": cannot parse "20": not a valid time) ```

The refresh service is launched by systemd and configured in:
- /lib/systemd/system/snapd.refresh.service
- /lib/systemd/system/snapd.refresh.timer
If you want to disable the autorefresh, override those configurations in /etc/systemd. Probaby the easiest way is to just set the timer to the frequency you like.
