Describe the issue:

The command

1. oc edit statefulsets.apps

and reducing the replica: 0 count does not work. Re-opening the config still shows replica: 1 (or even replica: 2).
And I still see prometheus processes running on the host and consuming CPU time, so I think the instructions are outdated with 4.10.

Suggestions for improvement:

Need to find a reliant way to disable prometheus on a node and make sure it stays off until turned back on.

Additional information:

The vexact version I used is

$ oc version
Client Version: 4.10.45
Server Version: 4.10.45
Kubernetes Version: v1.23.12+8a6bfe4

FYI this is not a CNV only related topic but I couldn't find a generic Openshift category here in BZ this would fit into, so my apologies for that.
