Thanks! This seems to be the filter to add to my “maintenance helper” plugin to make sure my clients won’t enable major core updates by accident while I manage their sites.

Minor updates are normally fine for having that auto-update since they are normally bug or security fixes.

I know, and I don’t disable minor updates, but I want to be able to decide when major updates are installed. I check for updates daily, so that’s not an issue.
