* If the provided token is not found, the transaction will resolve to INVALID\_TOKEN\_ID.
* If the provided token has been deleted, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN\_WAS\_DELETED.
* If no Pause Key is defined, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN\_HAS\_NO\_PAUSE\_KEY.
* Once executed the Token is marked as paused and will be not able to be a part of any transaction.
