Hey fajebru, thanks for reaching out.

 

Although you can currently manually pause sync, you can post this as a feature that you'd like to see being implemented in the future, here. 

 

There, other users can comment and upvote your idea!

 

In the meantime, I've moved your post to the Developer & API section, where someone might have some suggestions on how to achieve this. 

 

I hope this helps to some extent, but let us know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
