Project Paused

Studio shows this error when the project is paused. While a project is paused, you cannot save changes, and the project’s GraphQL API, automations, and agent chat are stopped.

Pausing is a project setting. It is not a problem with your browser, your login, or the Studio app.

Why a Project Is Paused

A Pro project can be paused for one of these reasons:

  • Someone paused it on purpose. Project owners can pause a project from Settings → General so it stops using paid on-demand usage.
  • The project reached its fixed monthly limit. If On-Demand Usage is set to Fixed, Flexkit pauses that project when its on-demand overage reaches the monthly limit.
  • On-demand usage is disabled. If On-Demand Usage is set to Disabled and the project uses its included Pro allocation, Flexkit pauses the project instead of charging overage.

On-Demand Usage is per project. Pausing one project does not pause other projects on the same team.

Free projects that reach their included limits become read-only. They are not paused.

What You Can Do

If you are not a project owner or billing admin, ask one of them to restore access.

If someone paused the project on purpose, a project owner can:

  1. Open the project in the Flexkit dashboard.
  2. Go to Settings → General.
  3. Choose Unpause Project.

If the project was paused by on-demand usage, Unpause Project is disabled. A project owner or billing admin should:

  1. Open the project in the Flexkit dashboard.
  2. Go to Settings → On-Demand Usage.
  3. Raise the Fixed monthly limit, or switch the monthly limit to Unlimited.

If On-Demand Usage is Disabled, they can switch to Fixed or Unlimited, or wait for included usage to reset.

After access is restored, refresh Studio and continue working as usual.
