v4.6.6: Disable Automatic Update Checking

Fixed

• GitHub API Rate Limiting Errors: Disabled automatic update checking to eliminate 403 rate limit errors. Set check period to 999 hours (effectively never checks automatically).

What Changed

• Automatic update checks no longer run in the background
• Users can still manually check for updates by clicking 'Check for updates' in the Plugins page
• No more error messages from automatic API calls
• Manual checks only happen when explicitly requested by the user

Why This Works

• GitHub's unauthenticated API limit is 60 requests/hour
• Without this, background checks would eventually hit the rate limit
• Manual checks only happen occasionally when users click the button
• Much more reliable and user-controlled approach

Testing

• Go to Plugins page
• Click 'Check for updates' manually to check for new versions
• No automatic checks will run in the background
