General Questions • [Software] Snapd behaviour to update snap packages

Hi all,

I am not sure if what I am going to describe is a bug or Snapd is supposed to behave in this way. I thought I would ask knowledgeable users here before submitting a bug report.
I am on Debian 12 and I unfortunately need to use a snap package otherwise not available in official repositories.
I installed snapd and I have configured it as to hold automatic updates by usingPlease, correct me if I am wrong but, as I understand, this should stop automatic updates indefinitely while I can still manually update single snap packages with

Now, I hate it when my system connects to the internet without my consent and somehow I had the feeling that even though automatic updates of snap packages are disabled, snapd would still try to reach snapcraft.
Indeed, I installed opensnitch and this is what I get every single day, once a day:
udp6, port 53, api.snapcraft.io from /usr/lib/snapd/snapd

Basically, disabling auto-updates does not prevent snapd from connecting anyway to check for updates.
This is honestly quite annoying and to me it feels like it should be a bug.
Am I wrong?
