Stops scheduling syncs for a connector. A sync that is already running stops at its next step. The connector keeps its credentials and resources, and each resource resumes from its last saved position, so Resume Connector continues from there and nothing created in the meantime is skipped.

While paused, lifecycle reads paused and Sync Connector returns 409.
