For the internet pause feature, for your information, multiple devices can be added into the same profile, we can tap “pause” button and all the devices in this profile will have no access to the Internet.

When you enable it, all the devices belonging  to this profile won't be able to access internet anymore until you enable it; When you press the play icon, it shows success which means you have unpaused the internet, the devices can access internet normal but they are still limited by the time limits/bedtime settings.

Besides, below is an instruction to setup parental control which you may get some details from it.

Wish I make myself clear.

Good day. 

@Herman7 

Once you created the profile, it will be activated and there will be a pause button which allows you to block the internet access for the selected profile; 

But if you did not tab on it, the devices under the profile will work and access internet as the limits you set.

You can do a test on your side, any updates, please let us know.

Best regards.
