Pause a deployment

⚠️
Preview — this feature is being built; the design below is the spec.
POST https://app.syntic.ai/v1/deployments/{deployment_id}/pause

Stop a deployment from firing on its trigger. Inbound /trigger calls are refused while paused; Run a deployment now still works. Syntic also pauses a deployment automatically after 5 failed firings in a row and sends deployment.paused.

For how this fits into a full workflow, see Scheduled and triggered runs.
