Is there some way of turning-off automatic SonarLint analysis in Intellij IDEA?

I have some 10,000 to 20,000 lines-of-code classes (don't ask, not my fault, trying to refactor). Every time I edit even a single character in the class, the SonarLint plugin makes IDEA unusable for a few minutes.

It is not possible to save the "Automatically trigger analysis" checkbox in the unchecked state in Other Settings > SonarLint General Settings. Is there some other solution to my problem? I really want to use the plugin. I just can't use it in automatic mode.

Go to File -> Settings -> Other Settings -> SonarLint General Settings then uncheck the Automatically trigger analysis check box
