- Give all players a pause limit. A certain number of minutes per game and per pause, and a number of pauses. Players can’t pause anymore after going over their time limit or pause count limit. The game resumes after a pause’s time limit is reached.
- Pausing should happen after a delay of a certain number of seconds. So a player hits pause, countdown starts before actually pausing.
- Resuming from a pause also has a timer.
- Players’ pause stats are retained. People who take more pauses or spend more time pausing the game get matched with each other.
