# Pause or resume a connected account

`PATCH /families/{id}/accounts/{accountId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://ledgerhq.pro/api/v1`
- URL: `https://ledgerhq.pro/api/v1/families/{id}/accounts/{accountId}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer and API key in header `x-organization-id`
  - HTTP bearer and API key in header `x-organization-id`

Firm-side family relationships only. Select the firm with x-organization-id. Owners, Admins and Staff Admins access all firm families; Staff Members need independent family assignment. Company access does not grant family access. OAuth requires the broad mcp grant, not a narrow banking scope; API keys retain ordinary agent permission scopes. No accounting organizations, portal grants, invitations or charges are created. Writes require ordinary firm write entitlement. Cross-firm and inaccessible IDs return 404. Pausing stops importing, keeps history and clears the account's destination; resuming makes it importable again once routed. Pausing the last active account on a login schedules the login's removal in 72 hours. Requires banking permission.
