[SOLVED (kind of)] How to disable messages at suspend ?

Hi,
Since my last update, when I hibernate, I get this message on all my terminals :

Broadcast message from [...] :
The system is going down for hibernate NOW!

This is quite anoyining when you resume the computer and your vim session is spamed with these...

What process/configuration does send these message, and how to disable / silent  it ?

A systemd update caused this issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/23520

Can you prevent it w/ "mesg n"?
(Crutch - this should™ suppress all messages but from UID0)

Have you tried this?

$ sudo busctl set-property org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager EnableWallMessages b false

It worked for me.
