I do not want to destroy the app. I just want to pause it, similar to heroku heroku turning on/off dynos. I don’t need the app now. It’s just ridiculous to destroy the app and reconfigure later on.

Hey @whyusername,
Unfortunately, there is no feature at this point however it’s a really great idea and would be super useful.
The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
Hope that helps! - KFSys.
Hey @whyusername,
It looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on our Product Ideas board.

Hope that helps!
Hi there,
Quick update here, you can now archive and restore App Platform apps.
This allows you to store an app’s data and configuration, and to stop incurring charges for the app’s components. You can restore an archived app to resume using it.
This feature is in Public Preview.
