# ⏸️ Pause Learning
> This feature lets you take a break for the full upcoming weeks without losing progress, extending your course end date accordingly.
### **1. Overview**
The **Pause Learning** feature offers you the flexibility to take a temporary break from your course schedule without losing progress. While paused, **no new sessions will unlock**, and once you resume, your learning will continue from where you left off.
***
### **2. Purpose and Intent**
* Support students during busy periods (exams, health, travel, etc.).
* Prevent session backlog.
* Promote a stress-free and structured learning experience.
***
### **3. How It Works**
#### **3.1 Accessing Pause Learning**
1. Go to your **Profile Menu** (bottom-left of the portal).
2. Select **"Pause Learning"**.
3. Choose **future full weeks** you'd like to pause using the calendar view.
4. Provide a reason (Exams, Health, Travel, etc.).
5. Confirm the pause duration.
Example: “1 week from 17th Mar to 23rd Mar.”
#### **3.2 During the Pause**
* **No new sessions** will unlock.
* **You retain access** to all previously unlocked sessions.
* Your course end date will **automatically extend** by the number of days paused.\
E.g., if your course ends on March 15th, and you pause for 10 days, the new expiry will be March 25th.
#### **3.3 Canceling Pause**
* You can cancel the pause early anytime.
* Navigate to **Profile → Cancel Pause** to resume learning.
* New sessions will begin unlocking from the cancellation day.
#### **3.4 Automatic Resume**
* If you don’t cancel the pause manually, your schedule will automatically resume from the date you selected earlier.
***
### **4. Where and When Can I Use Pause?**
* You can only pause **full upcoming weeks** (e.g., Mon–Sun).
* **Current week pause is not allowed**.
* Pause usage is limited to **12 total weeks per calendar year**.
***
