You can at any time:

-   temporarily suspend an agent;
-   permanently delete an agent.

## Suspending an Agent

You can temporarily suspend an agent, for example, to adjust its configuration or interface and then start it again.

After an agent is suspended:

-   the chat widget on your website will stop being displayed;
-   API requests to the agent will return a 400 error.

> [!NOTE]
> When an agent is suspended, the service is billed as usual. The monthly billing date will not change.

To suspend an agent:

1.  Go to the **AI Services** → **Agents** section.
2.  Hover over the required agent and click the pause icon.
3.  Confirm suspending the agent.
