Bulk Disable Option for Helpers

Feature Requests
1

I would like to request the addition of functionality to disable helpers in Home Assistant, without the need to delete them.

Use Case:
I am troubleshooting performance issues with my Home Assistant setup, specifically my NUC server, which is running at a high CPU temperature and operating loudly. My investigation suggests that a template or automation may be stuck in a loop, contributing to the server’s high resource usage.

Current Challenge:
To isolate the cause, I would ideally disable various helpers (input_booleans, input_numbers, etc.) temporarily. However, there is no current option to do so, and deleting them would result in losing all configurations, which is not practical.

Benefit of the Feature:
The ability to disable helpers would allow users to temporarily pause the execution of certain helpers without deleting them, making it easier to troubleshoot performance issues or unwanted behaviors. This feature would also provide a safer, more efficient way to test different setups without the risk of losing data or settings.

All of my helpers have an Enabled switch in settings.

Things are easily misunderstood. For example, I initially thought you were swearing at me for misunderstanding your post and moving it. I was momentarily cross, but then realized you were referring to yourself.

Same with @koying , he may have thought you were referring to him.

So, no harm done, but please follow the rules, even if you are only grumping at yourself.
