Stop animations for off-screen characters

At the moment I have about 100 characters in my level - most of them of course off-screen. But the animations seem to drop the FPS a lot:

Any suggestions on how to stop animating characters until they can be seen?

Hey…

Im currently not home and cant check… but as i remember when you select character in blueprint there is some configurable variable about animation update…
You can select update only if rendered… or something like that

Thanks, found it!
