This is the wrong command, hence the error message. Use:
systemctl --user stop xdg-desktop-portal.service
You can omit the .service extension as a shorthand, but you can't combine
status and stop in one command.

Not really: maintainer scripts happen in the context of the overall system
(as root) and there is not really a good way to inject service-management
commands into user sessions. Other per-user services like PulseAudio,
Pipewire, gpg-agent and so on are not stopped when you remove them either.
