Suspending subscriptions

When you suspend a subscription, the system generates a suspension key that is unique to this subscription. (You are not responsible for providing the suspension key.)

The start date and end date must be in the YYYY:mm:ddTHH:mm:ssZ format.

If you want to start the suspension, do not provide the date. To change the suspension's end date to indefinite, set the noEndDate value to true.

Specify the type of suspension you want to create. If you do not provide the suspension type and provide both a suspension end date and no suspension date, this action will result in an error.

When modifying the existing suspension date for a subscription, you must supply the subscription key, the suspension type, and the new suspension date. To start the suspension immediately, provide the current date. To change the suspension's end date to indefinite, set the noEndDate value to true.

To end an existing or future suspension, you must supply the subscription key, suspension type, and the current date in the End Date field. This action removes the suspension.

The following image shows the process flow for modifying a suspension.
