Hello, i was trying to disable auto refresh in Kibana. I would like to completely disable it.  
But timepicker:refreshInterval "pause": true is not working no matter what i do. It always goes back to enable and 10sec.  
Kibana 7.11.0

Is there a way to disable it?

What do you have in the advanced setting for `timepicker:refreshIntervalDefaults`?

Sorry for not answering so long. i have this right now:  
{  
"pause": true,  
"value": 1800000  
}  
i assume it could be chrome problem. i will test it with firefox

So it resets randomly. it will 100% reset on kibana restart even tho timepicker setting is still on pause with non zero value. At this point i have no idea what causing this reset

I am using v7.10.1 and experiencing the same issue, tried "pause": true in `timepicker:refreshIntervalDefaults` with multiple browsers but when I open the kibana, auto refresh is still enabled.
