## **⏸️ Why pause Rank Tracker?**

Rank Tracker can use credits when it refreshes tracked keywords on a recurring schedule. If you do not want ongoing tracking or credit usage, pause scheduled refreshes for the project.

## **🛠️ How to pause recurring tracking**

1. Open **Keywords** from the left sidebar.
2. Select **Rank Tracker**.
3. Open the project you want to pause.
4. Find the project’s refresh or tracking settings.
5. Disable the keyword refresh interval, or select **Scan Once** mode.
6. Save the change if prompted.

Scan Once mode prevents recurring refreshes. You can run a new scan manually whenever you want updated ranking data.

## **📊 What happens after pausing?**

- Your existing tracked keywords and ranking history remain available.
- The project stops scheduled keyword refreshes.
- No new recurring refresh credits are used while refreshes are paused.
- Ranking data may become outdated until you run another scan.

## **🔄 How to resume tracking**

Return to the same Rank Tracker project settings and select a refresh interval instead of Scan Once mode. Save your settings, then confirm the next scheduled refresh shown for the project.

## **💡 Important credit note**

Pausing prevents future recurring refreshes; it does not reverse credits already used by completed scans. If a scan is currently processing, allow it to finish before confirming that scheduled refreshes are paused.
