A paused service is resumed on its intended paused period end date, or it can be interrupted with a Resume action at any point in time while it is paused.
On resuming the service, billing is triggered so as to ensure that the service is eligible to go back into Effective state, i.e. the service is billed, and in case of zero credit limit, the service is also paid for the new Effective period.
Paused periods can be restricted through Subscription business rules. Paused period rules include:
- How many times a year can a service be paused
- How many days a year can a service be paused
- When paused, there's a minimum and maximum number of paused period days
