Stopping a draft is allowed and simply parks it in `stopped`. Only the token owner's own campaigns can be stopped: a campaign delegated to you, one shared by your team's visibility settings, and a deleted one all answer 404. Rate limit: this endpoint and DELETE /business/campaigns/{campaignId} share a tighter cap of 10 requests/minute and 100/day, applied inside the shared campaigns bucket of 30 requests/minute and 1,000/day per token owner (shared by every campaign, scheduled-send, campaign-template and knowledge-hub endpoint). Errors: - `404` `CAMPAIGN_NOT_FOUND` — No campaign with this id exists, it belongs to another account (including a campaign delegated to you or shared by your team's visibility settings), or it has been deleted. - `409` `CAMPAIGN_BUSY` — Another approve or stop is holding this campaign's activation lock. Retry in a few seconds. - `422` `VALIDATION_FAILED` — campaignId is not a 24-character hex id. - `429` `RATE_LIMITED` — Either this endpoint's own cap (10 requests/minute, 100/day) or the shared campaigns bucket (30/minute, 1,000/day for this token owner, shared by every /business/campaigns, /business/scheduled-sends, /business/campaign-templates and /business/knowledge-hubs call) was exceeded. The RateLimit-* headers on the response describe the shared bucket, so a refusal from this endpoint's own cap can still report requests remaining and carries no Retry-After. - `500` `UNEXPECTED_ERROR` — An unhandled failure; the detail stays in our logs and is never returned. Requires one of the following token scopes: campaigns. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /business/campaigns/{campaignId}/stop openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Fuse Business API version: 1.0.0 description: >- External API for lists, campaigns, prospect search and contacts.
