Price Oracle Suspension

Price oracle suspension occurs when a protocol stops relying on a specific data feed because it detects inaccuracies, manipulation, or downtime. If the oracle provides incorrect price data, it could trigger false liquidations or allow for arbitrage exploits.

By suspending the oracle, the protocol protects itself from acting on bad information. This is a critical safety feature in DeFi, where smart contracts rely entirely on external data to determine margin health.

During suspension, the protocol may freeze withdrawals or liquidations until a trusted, accurate price feed is restored.
