## Errors

| Status | Description                         |
| ------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `400`  | Only active campaigns can be paused |
| `404`  | Campaign not found                  |

<Note>
  Pausing a campaign stops all scheduled email sends. Leads that are mid-sequence will resume from where they left off when you start the campaign again.
</Note>

## Rate Limit

* **100 requests per minute, per API key.** Fixed 60-second window.
* Every response includes `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset` (unix epoch seconds).
* A `429` response includes a `Retry-After` header (seconds until the bucket resets).

For client-side patterns (`Retry-After`, exponential backoff, monitoring `X-RateLimit-Remaining`), see [Rate Limiting](/rate-limiting).
