How do I pause an agent to save credits?

Pausing unused agents is one of the most effective ways to optimize your credit usage on Abundly.

How to pause an agent

1. Navigate to the agent you want to pause
2. Go to Settings within that specific agent
3. Find the Agent Status section
4. Toggle the switch from "Running" to "Off"

When to pause agents

• Automatically running agents that aren't being actively used
• Seasonal or project-specific agents that are temporarily not needed
• Testing or development agents when not in active development
• Backup agents that only need to run occasionally

What happens when paused

• Agent stops consuming credits immediately
• All configurations remain intact - nothing is lost
• Easy to restart - simply toggle the switch back to "Running"
• No data loss - all documents, chat history, and settings are preserved

Best practices

• Regular review: Periodically review your active agents and pause unused ones
• Monitor usage: Keep track of which agents consume the most credits
• Strategic pausing: Pause agents during off-hours or weekends if appropriate
