The 'active pause' feature does not halt the elevator trim during altitude-set in the autopilot.

At least in the Cessna 170. You can watch the trim wheel moving while paused. Not very good

if large corrections built up during your "break" .

 

Update:  There are  unassigned (not in keyboard) commands which operate a bit differently. I put them on my flightstick just for test. They are:

1. 'Set Pause On'

2. 'Set pause Off.

They appear to halt autopilot activity. We'll see...

It also sets there and burns fuel while in pause!😮 Learned that the hard way. Unpaused and received an award for Dead Stick landing. 🙂
