Description

There is no way to disable automatic update checks.

It is an obnoxious and inappropriate overreach for Keybase to determine that this is necessary for all use cases.

Keybase GUI Version: 5.8.0-20210920151148+ac2177aec7

Research direction

Start at the Keybase GUI's automatic update-check entry point, using the issue's reported GUI version 5.8.0-20210920151148+ac2177aec as context. Trace how update checks are initiated and identify the existing user settings or platform-specific behavior before defining the scope. Done means users have a documented way to disable automatic update checks and the behavior is verified.
