Pause your task executions, for example when fixing an issue for a failed task or during a maintenance period, to make sure no executions will happen during these events.
Note that a paused task or plan on Cloud Engines neither starts Cloud Engine nor consumes tokens.
Before you begin
- You must have the appropriate permissions for the environment and workspace where the task is located.
