You can disable automatic updates and freeze your protection artifacts to a specific date, allowing you to control when to receive and install the updates. For example, you might want to temporarily disable updates to ensure resource availability during a high-volume period, or to test updates in a controlled staging environment before rolling out to production.

You cannot disable updates indefinitely — after 18 months, protection artifacts will expire. At that time, {elastic-defend} will start updating with the oldest artifacts available each day, until you either select a more recent version or re-enable automatic updates.

per our chat on slack -
They actually can keep the artifact version after 18 months - but it won't be available for a "rollback". So, if they were to change it from the 18 month old date, to the latest (for example), they wouldn't be able to switch it back if something went wrong. So essentially - the calendar picker supports 18 months of artifacts/protections days to select from, if that makes sense.
