What is Auto Pause?
Auto Pause is your backup plan when life gets hectic or you fall behind on learning. If your progress drops below 50%, the system automatically pauses your course for a week. This gives you space to catch up without getting overwhelmed by pending sessions. You don’t need to worry about doing anything manually—the system checks every Sunday night and pauses your learning for the next week if needed.When Does Auto Pause Kick In?
Auto Pause is triggered when:- You’ve completed less than 50% of your unlocked sessions in your current Growth Cycle.
- There are more than 1 week of sessions left to be unlocked in the same Growth Cycle.
- You still have pause weeks available (minimum 1 left).
- You haven’t already manually paused your course.
What Happens When You’re Auto Paused?
- You’ll get a notification:
“Your learning progress is below 50%. To help you catch up, your next week has been auto-paused. Resume anytime from your profile settings.” - Next week’s sessions won’t unlock.
You can use this time to review older sessions or clear your backlog. - You’ll still have access to:
- All previously unlocked content
- Gamified features like streaks and XP (as applicable)
- You can resume anytime by going to your Profile > Learning Schedule and clicking Resume Learning.
How to Resume Early
If you’re ready to learn before the week ends:- Go to Profile > Learning Schedule
- Click Resume Learning
- Confirm the action and your sessions will unlock immediately
What If You Stay Inactive?
If you don’t resume learning for 12 weeks, the system will stop auto-pausing and simply start unlocking sessions again as usual. So, don’t worry—you won’t be stuck forever.Why Auto Pause Matters
Sometimes you may not realize how much backlog has built up. Auto Pause steps in to:- Give you a breather
- Prevent burnout
- Help you catch up
- Let you return when you’re actually ready to learn
