The way I do it to freeze apps is using focus mode. You can flag these apps as "distracting" and enter "focus mode". Their icons will turn gray, only run when explicitly opened, and auto-freeze in 5 minutes. After 4 minutes a notification appears to extend this run time. This works for me for most of the cases.
