Settings & keep-time · Quiet Hours, pausing and schedules
Do Quiet Hours stop actions I start myself, like Free Up Space?
Short answer: No — Quiet Hours only hold back automatic work. Actions you start yourself run straight away. Pause is different: it also disables manual actions until you click Resume.
No. Quiet Hours only hold back automatic work — the scheduled moves and clean-ups Storage Studio starts on its own. Anything you start yourself, such as Free Up Space Now, runs when you ask.
That's different from Pause in the popover, which halts automatic actions and also disables manual actions like Run Rules Now and Clean App Caches until you click Resume.
