How Does the Streak Pause Feature Work?

When you pause your streak:

• Your current day will be marked as "Paused," much like "Weekend" days.
• Your overall streak will remain intact - you won't lose your streak.
• The calendar will show a blue fire icon, indicating this paused day.

How Can I Pause My Streak?

To pause your streak:

1. Go to the My Progress page.
2. Click the Streak card to open your streak calendar.
3. Below the calendar, click "Pause streak for 100". It will cost 100 Jewels.
4. On the web app, the pause is applied in a single click - there's no separate confirmation step. In the mobile app, tap Pause to confirm, or Cancel to back out.
5. Once applied, your streak will be successfully paused.

You'll see a quick animation and a green toast message confirming the pause ("Streak paused for 100 jewels").

What If I Don't Have Enough Jewels?

If you don't have at least 100 Jewels, the "Pause streak" option will be greyed out. Hover over the info icon next to it to see how many Jewels you have. You can earn more Jewels by watching 5 minutes of lessons a day and building your streak.

How Do I Resume My Streak?

Your streak resumes automatically as soon as you watch 5 minutes of lessons in a day. You can also resume it yourself:

1. On the same Streak section, the "Pause streak" option will show "Unpause streak."
2. Click "Unpause streak" when you're ready to start again.
3. It resumes in a single click - your streak will resume as normal. In the mobile app, tap Unpause to confirm.

You'll see another brief animation and a green toast confirming your streak is active again ("Daily streak is active").

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What happens to my streak if I pause?

When you pause your streak, you won't lose your current streak progress. The paused day behaves similarly to a weekend day, meaning it's marked with a special blue fire icon instead of the regular orange fire.

2. How much does it cost to pause my streak?

Using the feature costs 100 Jewels each time you pause your streak.

3. How often can I pause my streak?

Currently, there's no hard limit to how often or how long you can pause your streak, but each pause costs 100 Jewels. We recommend using pauses strategically to maintain your streak efficiently over the long run.

4. What if I accidentally paused my streak? Can I reverse it?

You can immediately "unpause" your streak again if needed. Please note, however, you'll still have spent the Jewels for pausing initially, and won't be refunded.

5. Can I earn Jewels while my streak is paused?

You can still earn Jewels normally by engaging with lessons and completing activities, even if you've paused your streak.

6. Do paused streak days count toward my streak achievements or records?

Paused streak days help protect your streak from breaking, but they don't add additional days to your streak count. They merely maintain the existing streak. Only active days, when lessons are watched and interactions recorded, add toward achievement milestones and records.
