Pause External Posts
Temporarily stop posting to external services without changing prefs. The pause auto-expires so you cannot forget about it.
Useful when calibrating against a known source, swapping a tube, or working on the device.
What gets paused
- Radmon
- URADMonitor
- Safecast

Counting, history, and lifetime totals also keep going.
