You actually can stop the time by snapping you fingers, but it stops time for the entire universe, including yourself, with the exception of one single observer on some unimportant planet in the Andromeda galaxy. After 100 years from the POV of that observer, time resumes again.
We could have a whole vent diagram of people than stop time, start time, or be immune to it. Imagine just going out for drinks with friends when times stops. But this has happened before so you walk across town, go in some dudes living room, and force his fingers to snap.
“Ah! Oh it’s you. Time stopped again?” “Yup” “Alright. Well hopefully whoever’s stopping time this time doesn’t REALLY like to snap.” “Hopefully. Well might be seeing more of me again. Bye!”
No. You would have to snap ~25000 times, for the light originating from there, to even reach you (Assuming, that light is unaffected by the time stop).

Would you even be able to tell?
Wouldn’t you just keep snapping your fingers, wondering why it wasn’t working? You wouldn’t notice time stopping.

It could be happening for real right now and you wouldn’t know it.

Time not stopping for light, but (almost) everything else, would cause a whole lot of problems. Sounds like a nice scenario for What If
