Pausing Job task executions

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.
  • You must have Execute permission to pause task executions.

About this task

You can pause task executions from its details page or from the Tasks tab. Once paused, no executions will be possible for this task anymore, including scheduled, manual, API, or webhook.

Any ongoing executions continue until completed. If a promotion is ongoing, the task will not be promoted.

If a task is paused and is part of a plan, it can fail the plan executions.
