To temporarily disable Google Chat, go to Google Chat or Gmail (where you access Chat), click on your profile picture at the top right corner, and set your status to 'Do not disturb' or 'Invisible'. This won't completely disable Google Chat but will prevent you from receiving notifications, effectively reducing distractions while you focus on other tasks. There's no direct option to completely disable Google Chat temporarily, but adjusting your notifications or visibility status is a practical workaround.
