There are scenarios where it would be useful to pause a Postgres ClickPipe. For example, you may want to run some analytics on existing data in a static state. Or, you might be performing upgrades on Postgres. Here is how you can pause and resume a Postgres ClickPipe.
Steps to pause a Postgres ClickPipe
1. In the Data Sources tab, click on the Postgres ClickPipe you wish to pause.
2. Head over to the **Settings** tab.
3. Click on the **Pause** button.
4. A dialog box should appear for confirmation. Click on Pause again.
4. Head over to the **Metrics** tab.
5. In around 5 seconds (and also on page refresh), the status of the pipe should be **Paused**.
Pausing a Postgres ClickPipe won't pause the growth of replication slots.

5. Head over to the **Metrics** tab.
