atlas clusters pause

Pause the specified running MongoDB cluster.

Public Preview: The atlas api sub-command, automatically generated from the MongoDB Atlas Admin API, offers full coverage of the Admin API and is currently in Public Preview (please provide feedback at https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/930808-atlas-cli). Admin API capabilities have their own release lifecycle, which you can check via the provided API endpoint documentation link.

To use this command, you must authenticate with a user account or an API key with the Project Cluster Manager role. Atlas supports this command only for M10+ clusters.
