# Pause a run

`POST /v1/runs/{id}/pause`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.hyperresearch.ai`
- URL: `https://api.hyperresearch.ai/v1/runs/{id}/pause`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `hr_session`

Accepted, not applied: pause asks the Workflow engine to pause the run and returns the status the RunAgent holds at that moment. A blocked run resumes from the gate it parked on; a cooperative abort reaches billing finalization before the run reads `aborted` everywhere.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `202`

Control request accepted; the run status as it now stands

- RunControlResponse
  - `id` string, required
  - `status` 'clarifying' | 'queued' | 'running' | 'paused' | 'blocked' | 'done' | 'failed' | 'aborted', required
  - `cancellation_requested` boolean

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request
- `401`: Authentication failed
- `403`: Insufficient scope or plan
- `404`: Not found
- `429`: Rate limited or over quota
- `500`: Internal error
