- Keeps serving users already in the experiment: they stay in their group and continue to receive its configuration.
- Stops adding new users to the experiment. Users who request remote configs during the pause receive the same configuration as users outside the experiment.
Pausing does not change the experiment’s traffic allocation or targeting. When you click Resume, the experiment continues with the same settings: users already in the experiment keep their group, and users who first requested a config during the pause can join it the next time their app requests remote configs, according to the experiment’s targeting and traffic allocation. Users the experiment had already evaluated and not included before the pause remain outside it — see Changing experiment traffic mid-flight.
