Deactivates a business rule by setting its active attribute to false. The rule is retained along with its versions and ruleset memberships, but Chargebee stops evaluating it.
Use this operation to switch a rule off temporarily. Because nothing is discarded, you can switch it back on later with Activate a business rule.
Impacts
Business rule
The rule active attribute is set to false. Chargebee stops evaluating the rule, including when it is reached through a business ruleset that contains it. The rule versions and ruleset memberships are retained.
Implementation Notes
To stop evaluating every rule in a ruleset at once, deactivate the ruleset with Deactivate a business ruleset instead of deactivating its rules one by one.
