Prefect Community

Hi prefect team,

I had a question about deployment pausing in prefect 2.0.
I am little confused by this concept.
If a work queue is filtering by deployment and the deployment is paused do all flow runs based on said deployment get paused and go into a "pending" state?

I don't see a way "pause" deployment programatically via either the cli or the api. It seems like this is a UI only feature am i missing something here?

Okay nvm i found this:
"Selecting the toggle next to a deployment pauses the run schedule for the deployment, if the deployment specifies a schedule."

I still do think this is strange behaviour. Pausing a deployment only pauses a flow run with a schedule, but doesn't pause a flow run that is being filtered by a work queue?
