There is also apt-daily-upgrade

:
$ systemctl stop apt-daily-upgrade.timer
$ systemctl disable apt-daily-upgrade.timer
$ systemctl mask apt-daily-upgrade.service
$ systemctl daemon-reload
And to check:
$ systemctl status apt-daily-upgrade.timer
$ systemctl status apt-daily-upgrade.service
Thank you, still active on Ubuntu 20.04. This is really some BS. This thing should never be on by default, why update at the cost of hours and hours of downtime !?
