How to pause and resume a budget

Pausing a budget temporarily prevents all members from spending against it. You can resume it at any time.


How to resume a paused budget

  1. Click Budgets in the sidebar.
  2. Click on the paused budget (it will show a Paused status indicator).
  3. Click the Resume budget button at the top right of the budget detail page.

Important: Only admins with the Manage all budgets permission can resume a paused budget.


What happens when a budget is paused

  • All cards linked to the budget will have transactions declined if they attempt to spend from it.
  • The budget’s balance and history are preserved.
  • Members can still view the budget but cannot spend.
