The Pause subscription feature of the subscription API is currently in Beta. When will it be officially released?  
I used the Pause subscription feature to schedule a subscription pause.  
I want to retrieve the status indicating that this subscription is scheduled to be paused, but it is returned as ACTIVE.  
I’m not sure how to obtain the scheduled pause status.  
Should I wait for the official release?

The Pause Subscription feature is indeed currently in Beta, and there isn’t a specific timeline for when it will be officially released. As for retrieving the status of a subscription that is scheduled to be paused, the status will remain as ACTIVE until the pause actually takes effect. The API currently does not provide a way to retrieve the scheduled pause status. You would need to keep track of this information in your own system.
