autopause
Self-triggered playback stop
Autopause is a feature that automatically pauses playback or activity when certain conditions are met.
In fitness apps, autopause stops recording when you stop moving: The run tracker has autopause so red lights don't mess up my pace.
In media players, it pauses when headphones are removed or when another app needs audio.
The verb form works the same way: My podcast autpaused when I got a call.
