puts response.read_bodyTransitions the sandbox to the
paused state. The underlying sandbox VM is
frozen and memory is preserved. Paused sandboxes do not consume CPU resources.
Returns an empty {} body on success.

If auto_resume was set to true in the sandbox’s lifecycle config, it
also resumes automatically when accessed.Path Parameters
