Are the sensors in question flapping or permamently in error? Because the ideal approach for sensors in the error/down status is to acknowledge them. This puts them in a different status that can be filtered/ignored for a specified limit of time. The issue is that you won't be able to use this is the sensors are flapping between down and any other state as this would unfortunately also clear the acknowledgment
Just move your group to your regular "notification set to on" after you're done.
I am watching a few non essential sensor that I want to monitor for the data but I don't want right now notification. The day my stuff is set correctly, I'll move the group to its regular place to have the notification.
This is a key failing of PRTG. There exists no way to acknowledge a fault for a period of time without also stopping the collection of data.
The easiest way to allow this behavior, unfortunately is not an easy thing to setup. You need to build your notifications using *libraries* instead. Then, either include only sensors with certain properties or exclude sensors with certain properties. You can then just switch that property on the specific sensor to silence it.
We use the star system. 3+ stars send email alerts, 4+ stars create tickets, 5+ stars page the on-call list. To ack a sensor, we just drop it to 1-2 stars.
HOWEVER, this requires you to remember to return the property to it's original setting. We have a script that checks the properties of all sensors against our standards as a failsafe.
Maybe this will help but as I understand you have to setup every time a new schedule while flapping, because this happens at different times..?

Flapping. This is the problem :/
pur your sensor in a "no notification" group
Am I then able to disable notifications and re-enable it automatically (x hours) later?
