How to Pause or Edit Autron’s Automation (and What Happens)

Learn how to temporarily stop or adjust Autron’s automation—without losing your settings or performance data.

Written by May

ℹ️ Two apps, two routes. This article covers both. Pausing is a switch per product, not an account-wide mode. The dashboard steps follow underneath, and still apply if that is where you work.

In the Autron agent

  • One product. Switch it off on its row in Goals. The rest keep running.

  • Everything. Stop ad engine at the top of the same page.

Either way your campaigns stay live and unchanged — what stops is Autron adjusting them. That is also what makes a manual bid stick: switch the product off first, then set it.

What Does Pausing Automation Do?

Pausing Autron disables its automatic optimization features. This means Autron will stop creating or editing your campaigns, keywords, and bids. However, any existing ads on Amazon will continue running unless you manually pause them within your Amazon Advertising Console.

Your goals, settings, and performance data will be saved, and automation will resume where it left off if re-enabled.

How to Pause Automation

You can pause automation from either the Global Goals section (for your entire account) or the By Product Goals section (for selected ASINs):

  • To pause automation for your whole account:

    Go to GoalsGlobal Goals → click Disable Autron

  • To pause automation for specific products only:

    Go to GoalsBy Product Goals → locate the product(s) you want to pause → click Disable Autron

    Once disabled, Autron will stop optimizing for those selected areas until you re-enable it.

What Happens After You Pause?

  • Autron stops all campaign creation, keyword testing, and bid optimization.

  • Any campaigns already live on Amazon will continue unless paused manually by you.

  • Your goals and campaign structure remain stored.

  • You can turn automation back on at any time and Autron will resume based on the last saved settings.

Should You Pause—Or Adjust Strategy Instead?

If you’re thinking of pausing due to performance concerns, we recommend reaching out to our team first. A small adjustment in your goals or strategy may improve results without interrupting progress.

How to Resume Automation

To resume:

  • Go back to the Goals tab.

  • In either Global Goals or By Product Goals, click Relaunch Autron/Save Goal.

Autron will continue learning and optimizing from where it left off, using the existing data and settings.
