ProblemOperators hide or instruct a Bot to stand down and assume its scheduled work stopped.
TechniquePause or delete the routine object itself. Treat routines as separate objects from the Bot and from its conversation.
Why it worksRoutines are bound to a Bot but are not controlled by talking to it; hiding preserves everything, including the schedule.
When to useAny time you want work to stop.
