How to pause transactional updates?

Hello,
I am most often on public-wifi with my laptop, and I would wish to do the transactional updates when I am at home. What is the correct way to stop transactional updates? I know that I could set the transactional update on a specific hour, but I do not necessarily have fixed schedules, so I prefer to be able to run the updates when at home. That way, I can avoid that they are not being made because my computer is off, or maybe made when I power it on and then am back on public wifi.

Would the following commands be correct?
To stop: sudo systemctl disable transactional-update.timer" To update: sudo transactional-update dup`

That would be the command to disable the automatic updates, yes.

If you wish to run them manually you can just run sudo transactional-update dup from the terminal whenever you want, as you said.
