Pausing and statuses

What Pause does on the engine and on the vault, what each status badge means, and what still works in each.

Pause stops your agent from trading until you resume it. Your money stays in the vault, and Withdraw and Emergency exit keep working while it is paused.

Pause and resume

Use Pause on the agent's card in My agents or at the top of Manage. For a vault, pausing is a transaction you sign: it pauses the vault contract itself, so the trading key can't swap even if our engine tried. Resume the same way. The next check runs right after you resume.

What the status badges mean

Running: Checking on its interval.
Paused: You paused it. No trades until you resume. Withdraw and Emergency exit still work.
Unfunded: The vault holds less than $5. It starts checking once you fund it.
Resting: Skipping checks for now because of the shared AI budget (its turn comes later, or the budget resets at 00:00 UTC). Funds and positions are untouched. See AI budget.
Braked: The auto-brake is on: no new buys; sells and withdrawals work.
Paused by tier: Your agents exceed your tier's agent count (Free 3, Holder 8, Whale 25). The newest ones wait; they resume by themselves when you qualify again. The vault is untouched.
Liquidating: Selling everything after you chose Liquidate everything. Runs even if the agent is paused.

When the platform pauses

The guardian or the platform admin can pause trading for every vault at once, for example after an anomaly. That stops only the trading key. You can always withdraw and use Emergency exit.

How it works under the hood

There are two switches. The engine's own pause flag stops the engine from deciding; the vault's on-chain pause stops the trading key at the contract. Pausing from the dashboard sets both. The platform-wide pause is a separate switch in the vault factory: the guardian can only turn it on; only the admin can turn it off.

While the vault is paused on-chain, “Liquidate everything” can't sell (it uses the trading key). Use Emergency exit instead: it runs from your own wallet.
