Can you please attach the datapack you are using?

/tick is not intended for datapacks or command blocks as it requires elevated permissions. See this helper comment

so can i just not use tick freeze unless i type it in chat?

Correct. the /tick sub-commands cannot be used unless the player uses them in chat. 🙂
