I am in zone 9b, I do not stop fertilizing. But in October I start to cut back, by the end of October I only fertilize 2twice a month and half the normal. In November I will cut back even more still feed twice a month just lower the dose. then in Feb after last frost I will start to increase again. Just watch the plant when you see it growing slower feed a little less, when you see the growth speed you feed a little more till you each your max.

If and when growth slows significantly, there is not point in fertilizing. Generally, if your night time temps are below 55F, they are dormant.
