We desperately need a way of controlling SLA and putting it on pause when we escalate issues. The current logic doesn’t allow for effective and reliable SLA tracking in such cases. Adding an option to pause SLA counter would help us big time. ---

Yes we too need this feature if we are to use the SLA management funtion in Hubspot ---

It would be really helpful if we could get this feature - Use case: We have a 4-hour SLA. We’ve requested information from the customer to continue troubleshooting a critical issue so we need to pause the SLA until we recieve fedback to continue the investigation. Otherwise it looks like we’re missing more critical SLAs than reality in our reporting. ---

Same here, we really need this feature, as we encounter the same issue that [@Lauren\_Lokker](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/106401) described. ---

It would be more than only helpful but acutally necessary to reflect reality. In case of missing information from the customer end it’s needed to pause the running SLA. ---

It would make sense to make it a pipeline-stage setting, particularly for the stages dedicated to waiting on the customer. The current state naturally skews SLAs in a harsh direction, making it seem certain tickets met their SLAs late rather than on time cause the customer took a while to respond overall. ---
