How to stop alerts "updates not installed"?

In the evening, I take my MacBook Air with me to bed. (I know, bad habit)

During the day I got asked to install updates on this MacBook Air and I always choose "try tonight".

But as you guessed it, tonight means that it's not plugged in with the power adapter so in the morning, I get a bunch of "Alert from updates not installed". There are a few visual messages that popup but even if I dismiss them, the voice keeps repeating this message.

My current fix is to switch off the sound or to reboot but I was wondering if there isn't a better way to stop this? Perhaps in the Terminal?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7

Manually and when the computer Is Plugged Into the charger and charger to electrical wall socket

Run the Software Update applet

Generally, updating a computer while Only on Battery Power can be a risky adventure

Should the Battery Loose enough Power during the download and subsequent Installation

You could find the computer not functioning or not function at all

Personally, I would not take such a risk with this expensive piece of equipment
