Guarded ad pause and resume
Last updated 2026-06-14

Guarded ad pause and resume lets you stop a runaway or underperforming ad — and switch it back on later — through Quri, with a confirmation step every time. Quri prepares the pause or resume, shows you exactly which ad it affects, and only acts once you approve, then logs the action for the record.
How to do this in Quri
- Spot a weak or runaway ad on /app/ads or in your spend anomaly alerts.
- Choose to pause it; Quri prepares the action and shows which ad it will touch.
- Confirm the pause to apply it — nothing happens until you do.
- Resume the ad the same way later, with the same confirm-then-log step.
Frequently asked
- Will Quri pause ads automatically when spend spikes?
- No. A spend anomaly raises an alert, but pausing the ad is a guarded action you confirm. Quri prepares it; you decide whether it runs.
- Can I resume an ad I paused earlier?
- Yes. Resume runs through the same guarded path — Quri prepares it, you confirm, and the action is logged just like the pause was.
