Option to disable Auto-Updates gone

I've just noticed this on Windows (10, 22H2 19045), later I can check on macOS and post a reply if needed [edit: version 8.11.8 on macOS 15.6.1 still shows the option "Install updates automatically", but I'm not sure it is actually respected]. The Windows version (I currently have 8.11.8) doesn't have an option to disable auto-updates. There is only a dropdown list for Release Channel under Settings > Advanced, where Production, Beta and Nightly are the only available options.

Is this a massive oversight? If so, when is it expected to be fixed?

Why am I upset about this? Because I am against any form of auto updates on my devices. I've had way too many issues with things updating automatically, breaking things and forcing me to spend time that I did not have, to fix those issues before I could get to doing whatever I initially planned to.

Absolutely nobody is immune to making mistakes and AgileBits is not an exception to this rule. I do not want an app as important as my password manager getting updated without my consent. Especially in cases like such a critical application, this could lead to catastrophic outcomes.

Just to make one point clear: I do keep all of my devices updated, people close to me joke that I have OCD about it. But there is one common thing every time I trigger updates: those updates are triggered when I feel I'd be able to spend time fixing possible issues, or find another device to do whatever I needed to until I can fix whatever broke. I do not want to deal with updates being forced upon my devices whenever someone else feels like that.

On the other hand, if this is a deliberate decision: how would I go about getting a refund on my subscription and export all of my data so I can stop being a customer here?

Thank you in advance.
