How can I verify that OTA updates are disabled on my Kindle?

Some time ago I followed the guide kindle modding wiki guide to disable ota Updates my Kindle (PW 11 th gen, Firmware 5.15.1.1) via renameotabin extension.

Unfortunately, I no longer remember whether the procedure was completed successfully or how to confirm that it actually took effect.

Before I consider turning Wi-Fi back on, I would like to verify that OTA updates are still effectively disabled.

My questions are:

How can I check whether the OTA-related binaries or services were successfully modified or disabled?

Is there a safe way to test OTA blocking without risking an automatic firmware update?
