# Pause a repurpose

> Stop polling. The watermark is kept so resume continues from where it left off.

Requires **manage repurposes** permission (Owner / Admin / Member). Viewers get `403`. Other-workspace IDs return `403`.

Conceptual guide: [Repurpose](/knowledge-base/repurposes).

Only an **active** row can be paused (`422` otherwise). This is a user pause: `paused_reason` stays `null`. Videos published while paused are still picked up after [resume](/api-reference/endpoint/resume-repurpose).

## Response

Same shape as [`GET /repurposes/{repurpose}`](/api-reference/endpoint/get-repurpose), with `status` `paused`.
