You should double-check with Google support (if you have a support plan), but I know from painful experience that if you're running a version of GKE that falls out of support, they may force-upgrade you to keep you within support, even if you have cluster upgrade turned off -- unless you use a maintenance exclusion.

The REGULAR channel release notes are here: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/release-notes-regular

The December 5th one is probably the one that affected you.

If you disable node auto-upgrade, you are responsible for ensuring that the cluster's nodes run a version compatible with the cluster's version, and that the version adheres to the Kubernetes version and version skew support policy.

Nodes running versions that have reached their end of life date are auto-upgraded even when auto-upgrade is disabled, to ensure supportability and version skew compatibility.
