Azure Functions - Block processing of Azure Service Bus messages

I have an Azure Function (AF), that is triggered by Azure Service Bus messages. The messages are used to perform operations against another service. What I would like to do is that if there are transient failures in the service, then I would like to stop the message pump for a while. I do have Polly and a transient error policy to handle HTTP errors. But that allows me to retry after I have picked up a message. What I would like to do is to stop pulling messages for a while and then restart the pump. Is this possible with Azure Functions?

You can't block Azure Function. Instead, you disable it. That means it will require manual intervention. Documentation on how to disable Azure Functions is available here.
