# Pause Cron

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/job-scheduling/cron/pause-cron/) now.

This SDK method can be used to temporarily halt a cron from submitting a [job](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/job/introduction/) to the [job Pool](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/jobpool/introduction/). You need to pass the [`cron id`](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id) or name of the cron you wish to pause to the `pauseCron()` SDK method.

> **Note:** You can use this method to update details of both [Pre-Defined Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/) and [Dynamic Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/).

```javascript
const pausedCronWithName = await jobScheduling.CRON.pauseCron('test_cron'); // pause cron with cron name
const pausedCronWithId = await jobScheduling.CRON.pauseCron('1234567890'); // pause cron with cron Id
```
