Pausing a queue stops the delivery of enqueued messages. The queue will still accept new messages, but they will wait until the queue becomes active for delivery. If the queue is already paused, this action has no effect.
Resuming or creating a queue may take up to a minute. Therefore, it is not recommended to pause or delete a queue during critical operations.
