The autoscaler sets pg_num_target when enabled, and then it's up to the mgr to get the system to the new pg_num_target whether or not the autoscaler is enabled. (With the autoscaler off, setting a new pg_num will actually set pg_num_target, to the same effect.) In other words, turning the autoscaler off _after_ it has already acted won't do anything for you. It needs to be disabled before it has a chance to change your pool settings in the case that you don't want it to act on your pool.
