I have paused space. When i try to turn off the pause switch in the space settings, i get error **Failed to pause your Space:**

Something went wrong when restarting this Space.

The same error occurs when i try to restart the space.

In the following scenarios, all of a user’s Spaces may be paused, starting with the Spaces that trigger the filter. ( **If the filtering criteria are correct** , this is likely intended behavior, but…)

HF appears to be currently investigating this behavior and its scope of impact.
