CI: check_freq=False
Aimed at a test that has been periodically failing in the CI for a week or so.
looks ok, comments by @simonjayhawkins  comments addressed green k thanks. pls open an issue to change this to `check_freq=False`; I *think* this might break downstream, IIRC a comment by @jorisvandenbossche  > k thanks. pls open an issue to change this to `check_freq=False`; I _think_ this might break downstream, IIRC a comment by @jorisvandenbossche

Jepp, this broke some code for me. Will open the mentioned issue.
