# Deactivate a business ruleset

> For the complete machine-readable documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://apidocs.chargebee.com/llms.txt).


[Idempotency Supported](/docs/api/idempotency)

Deactivates a business ruleset by setting its `active` attribute to `false`. The ruleset and its rule memberships are retained, but Chargebee stops evaluating it.

Use this operation to switch off a whole group of rules in one call, without changing the rules themselves.

### Impacts

**

Business ruleset

**

The ruleset `active` attribute is set to `false` and Chargebee stops evaluating it. The rules it contains and their priorities are retained, and each rule keeps its own `active` value, so a rule that belongs to another `active` ruleset is still evaluated there.

### Implementation Notes

The rules in the ruleset are not deactivated. They can still be applied on their own with [Apply business rules](/docs/api/business_rules/apply-business-rules) using `rule_id`. To switch off an individual rule everywhere, use [Deactivate a business rule](/docs/api/business_rules/deactivate-a-business-rule).
