Stops a form taking submissions, without deleting it. Its ID, settings and embed code stay the same.

While it is paused, visitors see a message in place of its fields: options.paused_message, or a default message when that is empty. When options.paused_link_text and options.paused_link_url are both set, the message has a button. Set those options with PUT /forms/{id}.

The form's public link always shows the message. An inline form's embed shows it only when the form has its own message or button, and renders nothing otherwise. The embeds of pop-up layouts render nothing.

Pausing a paused form changes nothing and succeeds. A Preference Center can't be paused, because contacts reach it from the links in your emails, so this returns 422 for one.

Use PUT /forms/{id}/resume to take submissions again, and GET /forms?paused=true to list paused forms. Requires the permission to edit forms.
