How do you force Azure SQL (Serverless) to pause?

Viewed 251

We were running an Azure SQL database (Serverless) as part of a PoC. We are now testing some other solutions, so we'd like to force pause the database for a few days. Ie. we want to only incur storage billing for a few days.

The database is showing a low amount of usage that keeps the db form pausing automatically (resulting in constant billing in line with the minimum vCore associated with my db's storage use)

How can I force serverless db to pause?
