I am getting way too many updates from a certain thread
I don't see a way. There is a "bookmark" icon in the upper right but it seems to do nothing when enabled or disabled.

"Adds the ability to selectively turn off notifications for individual discussions.
I found that the "Participated" notification preference (Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in.) would be ideal, if only you could unsubscribe from these annoying discussions that span over a hundred pages you are getting notified for, just because you commented once."
See that black star highlighted by the blue circle?
Most probably you have it in gold: that means that that thread is bookmarked and in that case you'll receive notifications for every post added in that thread.
There are two ways to have a tread bookmarked:
1- by posting a new thread, it will be automatically bookmarked;
2- by clicking manually on the star icon.
If you want a thread unbookmarked you just have to click on the golden star: it will become black and the thread will be bookmarked no more, so no more notifies at every post added in there.
You can also manage your bookmarks from here:
you can find that link in the top right corner of the page, under your profile pic.
EDIT: ^ this is what happens if you don't read OP carefully.
Anyway, if you have "Notify me when people comment on discussions I've participated in." enabled, you can't disable notifications on a single thread you've participated in.
Surely the plug-in suggested by @Sylvus_Moonbow will be useful to you.
Make it stop!!!
