Time Machine backup while sleeping

Hey there,

I've noticed my M1 MacBook Pro is constantly backing up via Time Machine, even when it's sleeping during the night. And even if I turn off "Wake for network access" in System Settings it backs up / turns on my Time Capsule almost CONSTANTLY. Few times during each hour.

Since Time Capsule makes some noise every time it starts backing up, it is quite disturbing to hear it during the night, when I really don't have to back up my machine. Is there any way to stop this procedure during the night? Without changing the frequency of backups?

You can turn off automatic backup...or make a change

Change Time Machine settings on Mac - Apple Support

I have my Mac auto shutdown each night so no noise is guaranteed. I also set to auto start in the morning before I get up so it is ready to go.

Understand. I have a Desk top.
