Yes, you could also grey things out, anything. It would need to be done using JavaScript, using the ajaxformstart and ajaxformfinish actions. Use the former to detect settings before the Auto Count runs, and use the latter to reset to those.
<script>(function ( $ ) {
"use strict";
$(document).on("sf:ajaxformstart", ".searchandfilter", function(){
// so do what you need to show the form has started to re-calculate fields, for example, fade or show a loading icon
});
$(document).on("sf:ajaxformfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
// so do what you need to show the form has finished re-calculating fields, for example, remove fade or remove a loading icon
});
}(jQuery));</script>
