# Suspend cluster
This guide will provide a quick overview of how to suspend your cluster
using the CrateDB Cloud Console. For the purposes of this guide, it is
assumed that you have a cluster up and running and can access the
Console. If not, please refer to the tutorial on how
to {ref}`deploy a cluster for the first time. <deploy-cluster>`
(what-is-suspension)=
## What is cluster suspension
Cluster suspension is a feature that enables you to temporarily pause
your cluster while retaining all its data. An example situation might be
that the project you\'re working on has been put on hold. The cost of
running a cluster is split into two parts: **Compute** and **Storage**.
The benefit here is that while the cluster is suspended, you are only
charged for the storage.

To suspend your cluster, navigate to the Clusters page in the left-hand
menu. Here you can see a list of all your clusters. Click *View* on the

This will bring you to the Overview page of your chosen cluster.
Once here, you can suspend your cluster. Simply click the *Suspend
cluster* in the top-right.
