Here's a question, would you even be aware? Does one's awareness supersede time?

Imagine the following:

You actually can stop the time by snapping you fingers, but it stops time for the entire universe, including yourself, with the exception of one single observer on some unimportant planet in the Andromeda galaxy. After 100 years from the POV of that observer, time resumes again.

Would you even be able to tell?

No. You would have to snap ~25000 times, for the light originating from there, to even reach you (Assuming, that light is unaffected by the time stop).

Entire universe no. Stopping this particular galaxy and not the others, the average Joe wouldn't notice. But I think the astronomers could tell?

How would astronomers be able to tell?

Wouldn't you just keep snapping your fingers, wondering why it wasn't working? You wouldn't notice time stopping.

POV: If you're not immune, you wouldn't be able to realize it

Time for a calm existence experiencing nothing and going nowhere, never
