Will Windows 11 install the Windows 11 24H2 update automatically?

Pro and Home versions of Windows 11 will automatically download and install updates from Microsoft. Users can opt to delay MS updates for a short period of time, but not indefinitely. Does Microsoft's forced-update policy also apply to the Windows 11 24H2 update? Specifically, how long will the Windows 11 24H2 update stick around as an available update in Windows Update on a Windows 11 box before it is force-installed?
