Learn how to temporarily suspend services that consume your quota.

You can temporarily halt all quota-consuming operations to preserve your allocation for a planned campaign or stop unexpected traffic from draining your monthly limit.

## How to suspend

> **Define fallback content first**
>
> Ensure your application has [fallback content](/explanation/content/fallback-content) defined before suspending services to prevent unexpected behavior.

You can suspend or resume services at any time from your [workspace settings](https://app.croct.com/redirect/organizations/-organization-/workspaces/-workspace-/settings):

## Consequences

When you suspend services, the following behaviors take effect:

| Service               | Behavior                                                       |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Event tracking**    | Stops tracking and ingesting all events.                       |
| **Content rendering** | Falls back to the default content defined in your source code. |
| **API requests**      | Rejects all incoming requests.                                 |

Resuming services restores normal operation immediately. Your existing data and resources remain intact throughout.

> **Permanent removal**

> Service suspension is designed for temporary pauses only. For permanent removal, remove the Croct SDK from your application code.
