If the recurrence pattern of a schedule is None, there is no end date for the schedule. The delivery will be suspended once according to the start and end times chosen. For example, if you choose the start time as 10.00 IST and end time as 14.00 IST on January 25th, the delivery will be suspended from 10.00 IST to 14.00 IST. The delivery will resume after 14.00 IST. If you choose a duration of 24 hours, the delivery will be suspended from 10.00 IST on January 25th till 10.00 IST on January 26th.

The Next Suspension Window column in the Suspend Delivery Schedule panel indicates the next delivery suspension planned.
The Suspension Status indicates if the delivery was suspended as a result of the schedule. The values are true and false. If the delivery was suspended because of the schedule, Suspension Status = true. If the delivery was suspended, but not because of the schedule (for example, if the user manually selected the Suspend Delivery check box in the Settings panel before the schedule could run), or if the delivery was not suspended at all, then Suspension Status = false.
