Cron monitors can be assigned an owner as either a Team or specific Organization Member. When an owner is assigned to a monitor, new issues produced by failures of that monitor will be assigned to that owner.

Monitor owners also receive notifications when a monitor becomes broken. Learn more about [broken monitor notifications](/product/crons/troubleshooting/#why-was-my-monitor-environment-marked-as-broken-or-automatically-muted).

## Pausing Your Cron Monitor

5355
You can pause job monitoring in the header of your cron monitor. When you pause, your monitor will stop recording check-ins and will no longer notify you of any failed or missed check-ins.

Note: Pausing your cron monitor won't pause the execution of your job or change the configuration of your job scheduler.

### Automatic Muting
60+
61+
If a monitor environment has been consistently broken for an extended period, Sentry may automatically mute it to reduce notification noise. Unlike pausing, muting does not stop billing. Learn more about [automatic muting and broken monitors](/product/crons/troubleshooting/#why-was-my-monitor-environment-marked-as-broken-or-automatically-muted).

If your monitor environment has been in a failing state for 14 days or more, we will automatically mark it as broken and notify you of this escalated failure state via email. If the monitor environment stays in this state for another 14 days, we will automatically mute it to stop it from generating additional noise through notifications or issue events.

If your monitor environment has been consistently broken for 14 days or more (with only missed, timed out, or failed check-ins), we will automatically mark it as broken and notify you of this escalated failure state via email.

If the monitor environment continues to be broken after an additional 14 days, we will automatically mute it to stop it from generating additional noise through notifications or issue events.

**Who Receives the Notification:**
20+
21+
- If the monitor has an owner who is a user, that user will receive the email
22+
- If the monitor has an owner who is a team, all team members will receive the email
23+
- If the monitor has no owner, everyone in the project team will receive the email
24+
25+
**Important Notes:**
26+
27+
- You can disable these notifications in your [personal notification settings](/product/alerts/notifications/notification-settings/)
28+
- Muting a monitor does **not** stop billing. You will continue to be charged for muted monitors. To stop billing, you must deactivate or delete the monitor. See [Manage Your Cron Monitors](/pricing/quotas/manage-cron-monitors) for more details.
