Pauses a multi-use card. New charges decline while the card is paused; the balance, spend limit, and reserved funds are untouched. Unlike close_card, pausing is fully reversible: reactivate the card with resume_card.

​
Parameters

​
Returns

A confirmation with the cardId and a status of paused. Only multi-use cards can be paused (single-use cards close on their own after their first charge), and a closed card cannot be paused. A paused card keeps holding its funds and still counts toward the user’s active multi-use card cap.
Cards from another app. On a personal card a different connected app minted (access: "connected" in list_cards), this call returns approval_required with an approvalId instead of pausing. The user is emailed an approve/deny link; once they approve, retry with approval_id. See One wallet across apps.
