Suspend a GitHub App

Administrators and users can suspend any GitHub App’s access for as long as needed, and unsuspend the app on command. Suspended apps cannot access the GitHub API or webhook events. Use this feature as an alternative to uninstalling an application, which has the consequence of deauthorizing every user. This feature is available in both the Settings user interface and in the API.
