Invoices are being automatically sent. How do I turn that off?

I can help you in turning off the option to automatically send the invoice, @maloney-glenn.

You can check the recurring invoice template that you've created and unmark the Automatically send emails option. 

Let me show you how:

1. Click the Gear icon ⚙ at the top and choose Recurring Transactions under the Lists column. 
2. Locate the Template.
3. On the Action column, click Edit then remove the checkmark on Automatically send emails. 
4. Click Save Template.

Check this article for more information: Edit a recurring template. Also, here’s a reference on how to create recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.
