<p>Is there a way in Argo CD to suspend sync globally? For example, my company occasionally does deployment freezes in which no one is allowed to ship to production. Is there a way to turn off sync globally in Argo CD to prevent new versions of apps from deploying?</p>

<p>As LostJon commented, you can scale the application controller down. But then you won't see the current state of resources in the UI - only the state as of the moment the controller was shut down.</p>
<p>Instead of scaling down the controller, you can set a <a href="https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/sync_windows/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sync window</a> on a <a href="https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/projects/#configuring-global-projects-v18" rel="nofollow noreferrer">global project</a>.</p>
