# Update Pause Pre Authorization

[Github Source](https://github.com/seabed-labs/pre-authorized-debit/blob/main/programs/pre-authorized-debit-v1/src/instructions/update_pause_pre_authorization.rs)

```rust
#[instruction(params: UpdatePausePreAuthorizationParams)] // only for documentation
pub struct UpdatePausePreAuthorization<'info> {
    pub owner: Signer<'info>,

    #[account(
        has_one = owner @ CustomProgramError::PausePreAuthorizationUnauthorized
    )]
    pub token_account: InterfaceAccount<'info, TokenAccount>,

    #[account(
        mut,
        seeds = [
            b"pre-authorization",
            token_account.key().as_ref(),
            pre_authorization.debit_authority.as_ref(),
        ],
        bump = pre_authorization.bump,
        has_one = token_account @ CustomProgramError::PreAuthorizationTokenAccountMismatch,
    )]
    pub pre_authorization: Account<'info, PreAuthorization>,
}

pub struct UpdatePausePreAuthorizationParams {
    pub pause: bool,
}
```

This instruction can be used to pause or unpause a pre-authorization.

Any pre-authorization can be paused. While paused, the debit authority will not be able to debit funds via the pre-auth (this is the only restriction during the paused state). Only the pre-auth's token account's owner can pause or unpause a pre-auth.

Note that for recurring pre-auths that have `reset_every_cycle` set to false (i.e. cumulative), they will continue to accumulate the available amount across cycles as time progresses. If you wish to prevent that, closing that pre-auth and recreating it with a different configuration would be recommended.
