Redis CLIENT PAUSE command is a connections control command, able to suspend all the Redis clients for the specified amount of time (in milliseconds). The command performs the following actions −

• It stops processing all the pending commands from normal and pub/sub clients. However, interactions with slaves will continue normally.
• It returns OK to the caller ASAP, so the CLIENT PAUSE command execution is not paused by itself.
• When the specified amount of time has elapsed, all the clients are unblocked: this will trigger the processing of all the commands accumulated in the query buffer of every client during the pause.

Return Value

Simple string reply − The command returns OK or an error if the timeout is invalid.
