The sender can pause a recurring payment to temporarily suspend payouts. The executor will not trigger pay() while the payment is paused.
Pause
Open the payment
Navigate to Payments and select the active payment.
Click Pause
Click Pause. Sign with the sender wallet. Status changes to PAUSED on-chain.
Pause requires FLAG_CANCELABLE to be set. Non-cancelable payments cannot be paused.
Resume
Click Resume
From the paused payment, click Resume. Sign with the sender wallet.
On-chain behavior
next_payment_timestamp is reset to tx.locktime + intervalSeconds. No backdated intervals are paid for the pause period. The payment schedule continues from the resume time.
Backdated Payments
FlowGuard does not backfill missed intervals during a pause. If you pause for three weeks and resume, the next payment is due one interval after the resume time — not three weeks earlier.
This matches the expected behavior for employment payroll: paused periods are unpaid.
