stop checking for updates

In sublime terminal (ctrl + `) every minute I got annoing lines:

Checking for updates:
    Sync Enabled: True
    Sync Timeout: 60000
    Latest Update at: Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 1970
    Thread is: Thread-4
    Paths: [{'path': '', 'display': ''}]

It interrupt me from debuging sublime plugins.

How to disable this Checking for updates?

I tried 2 things to disable it:

  1. I added line "update_check": false into /Users/maks/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings:

    { "ignored_packages": [ "JavaScript Console", "Vintage" ], "update_check": false }

    And restarted sublime. But nothing...

  2. I tried to find string 60000 in all files of sublime folder: /Users/maks/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3 But nothing good found. Maybe 60000 ms is default value.

Update

Created function to search text in packages and installed packages:

searchInSubl()
{
    cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Installed\ Packages; zgrep -e $1 *.sublime-package ; cd ../Packages; grep -R -e  $1 *
}

With help of it I searched by different words: "Checking for updates", "Sync Enabled", "Sync Timeout", "60000", "Latest Update at", "Thread is", "Paths". But nothing found.

Seemingly this update is internal sublime 3 option. Don't know how to disable it...

My current version of sublime text 3 is 3083. Here how the guys solved it HERE.

Text version

Go to Preferences -> Settings-User -> and paste that line of code in the end:

"update_check": false, or "update_check": false (without last comma if it's last item in the array). After that press CTRL + S (on Windows OS) to Save file or go to File -> Save

Since Sublime Text 3 packages are in zipped .sublime-package files, you'll need to use zgrep to search them:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Installed\ Packages
zgrep -e "Checking for updates" *.sublime-package

If nothing is found, try looking in the Packages directory:

cd ../Packages
grep -R -e "Checking for updates" *

Hopefully one of these will match a package. If so, add the package to your ignored_packages setting and restart Sublime.

If neither search works, try using other fragments of the message as your search term: "Sync Enabled", "Latest Update", etc.

Good luck!

Please Note:

This is not the same issue as this one, where setting "update_check": false in your user preferences does not stop Sublime Text 3 from displaying upgrade messages when a new build is released. This particular issue was caused by a plugin constantly printing a message to Sublime's console. As the OP commented below:

using turning off and on every single plugin, target plugin found, its name: "My Snippets" in Installed Packages folder.
