# Pause test run

> <Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Stops a test run that's `pending` or `running` and closes its browser session. The run ends with `status` set to `paused` and no `failure_reason`, which is how you tell it apart from a run paused for running out of credits. It gets no report. A paused run can't be resumed, so [run the test](/api-reference/run-test) again to start over.

A run that's already `analyzing` isn't paused, because its browser session is over. The call returns `already_terminal` set to `true` and the run goes on to get its report. A run that already ended also returns `already_terminal` set to `true`, so retrying is safe.

This is limited to 300 requests per minute per caller for each app. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. Read-only keys and workspace API keys are refused.</Note>
