Each time a block is edited by refedit or bedit, the system automatically regenerates into the model, which takes a few seconds and sometimes a few minutes (more time when there are a large number of blocks in the document).
Earlier versions had the regenmode variable or regenauto command, but were still automatically regen models for block editing.
How to prevent AUTOCAD from automatically regenerating model?

Resolve or replace the file paths to the xrefs that are not correctly attached in the drawing. See External reference (xref) file is missing or unresolved in AutoCAD.
After exiting the Block Editor, try doing the following.

I can imagine a danger if it didn't regenerate at least all references to the Block you just edited [if not necessarily the whole drawing]. But how dangerous depends on the extent and nature of the changes you made. You might be led astray by references to it that are not yet visually updated but that would adversely affect what you do subsequently, if you're not seeing the changes you've already made. You might even try to re-edit some Block that you already edited, which would at best be a waste of time, but could be more serious.
Is the idea that you want to edit multiple Block definitions, but not have the drawing regenerated to update them all on-screen until after you're done with all of them? [Not that I have any idea whether that's possible....]
