I think there is a timer triggroing this. I'd like to disable this when
my laptop is on expensive link (eg 4G link, or abroad). So I'd like to
disable this timer, but I did not find it. If someone knws better than
me...
Perhaps I missed something since I have no idea why policykit (or
polkit?) is involved.
You may disable apt timers
systemctl disable --now apt-daily.timer apt-daily-upgrade.timer
Perhaps it is possible to write a script that will respect
connection.metered property set by NetworkManager.
