How do I pause a project without waiting for a week?

[WaterlessPiano2]

Today I want to create a new project, but Supabase is asking me to delete or pause one of my other 2 projects. I don't want to permanently delete any of them, but I am happy to pause one.

Is there a way to pause a project imminently, on demand? if yes, how do I do this?

this UI has changed, there is no longer a pause option available

@aaronksaunders Maybe you are not on a free plan? Pause is only for free plans.

I am not on the free plan but I want to pause a running project to start one of my test projects since it won’t let me spin up the other project?

Then you need to contact support and see if they can help. I've not seen Supabase's reasoning, but my guess is because pause/restore will bring in latest versions of API servers and Postgres and that could break production systems.

@GaryAustin1 Can I get an information if project is paused from API? I would like to show a message on my website if project is paused

[GaryAustin1]

I'm not aware of a way to know it is paused.
The Project management API at a quick glance does not show anything useful.

You could certainly see if the database or auth is responding by doing a health check like the dashboard does by polling these endpoints.
