A merchant can temporarily suspend an ACTIVE subscription using the Pause API. During the pause period, no scheduled invoices or automatic payment collections are processed. When the customer is ready to continue the subscription, the merchant can resume it using the Unpause API, which changes the subscription back to the ACTIVE state.
