Can I stop an update from installing?

[BetterSlowDown]

My '19 Model 3 downloaded the new update overnight, and I DON'T want to install it. The car has presented me with 2 options, either "install now" or "schedule update". With the "schedule update" option, it is only a 24-hr clock and I can't select a future date. So, for now, I scheduled it out 23 hours to prevent it from installing. Is this tactic, just continually scheduling out 23 hours, the only option I have to prevent the new update from installing? Is there some other way of preventing a software update once it's already downloaded? TIA

Just keep clicking to decline the install, but really, once you are home and can give up the car for 25 minutes to install, just do it.

You may also prevent bug fix and future software updates if this current one isn't done. I don't recall being able to skip an update and get the next one.

No. Software updates are required.
