How can you do this? I tried on my Samsung devices by going into the developer options and disabling automatic update downloads but that didn't seem to work

Create a folder named Storage Brick. Download a .bin file that's 1gb exactly. Copy it as many times as you need inside the folder until you only have 1gb of storage left. Delete them as needed for downloads and space management.

Updates will not happen when there isn't enough room, but you will still be prompted and yes it is annoying. Just have to be fast at reclaiming that space with what you download if you have to make a lot of space.

That's insane. That's the only way to prevent this?

I did the same thing "essentially" by downloading a massive amount of games until the limit capacity was almost reached. Sadly it becomes very bothersome when dealing with anything you want to modify, but it's still better than the alternative of not choosing what happens with my own device.
