# Pause, resume or stop Run

> Pause, resume or stop Run to control when Ted works, and read the summary of each run that ends.

**Pause** holds a run, and **Resume** carries on where Ted stopped. **Stop** ends it. When a run ends, its **Run summary** shows what Ted made, unless you stopped it before he did anything.

Ted can do this for you: the owner can ask him to pause, resume or stop Run.

Only the owner can pause, resume or stop Run. You can’t pause or stop your [free first run](/run/first-run).

**1. Open Run**

Press **Run** at the top of the screen, or at the bottom on a phone.

**2. Pause or stop the run**

On Run’s card, press **Pause** to hold the run, or **Stop** to end it.

**3. Resume a paused run**

Press **Resume** on Run’s card. Ted carries on where he stopped.

## Check that it worked

After **Pause**, the button says **Resume**. After **Stop**, Run’s card says it’s ready to run, with **Start Run** under it.

## When a run ends

A run also ends by itself when your credits run out, when billing needs attention, or after repeated problems. It ends, too, when Ted has used its Power: the most it may spend, set in [Run settings](/run/overview#run-settings). If it ended on its Power or after repeated problems, press **Start Run** to have Ted carry on where he left off. If your credits or billing ended it, fix that first, then press **Start Run**.

When a run ends, its **Run summary** opens once, wherever you are: how it ended, what Ted made and what still needs you. To see it again, press its row under **From Ted** on [Home](/get-started/home). A run you stop before Ted spends or makes anything has no summary.

## If something goes wrong

> **“Paused until you decide …”**
>
> With **Ask first**, the run waits for your decision on an email, a post or a website change, and its card says it’s waiting for you. As soon as you decide, the next pass starts. See [Approve Ted’s work](/ted/approvals) and [Approve Ted’s website changes](/run/approve-website-changes).

> **“Ted finishes this on his own.”**
>
> You can’t pause or stop a [free first run](/run/first-run). Let it finish.
