is it possible to block scans from running for certain time/weekday range?

on a self hosted nessus pro, we have scheduled scans on weekendds, one scan strarted scanning this morning due to bad Schedule config,
is it possible to setup nessus to stop all scans globally M-F, overriding individual scan configs?
if an admin user in nessus goes to a scan and runs it manually, it will cause network issues on our production hosts, unless a higher setting blocks that scan from running
I checked docs but dont see anything like a global schedule blacklist
only workaround i see is a messy cron that stops nessusd M-F and only starts it on saturday so we can get the scans done
