 ==== Power Hour ====
-Power Hour is an automatic, account-wide bonus. When your account is eligible and one of its characters is in the game world, Power Hour begins and doubles all eligible skill gains for the next 60 minutes.
+Power Hour is an account-wide bonus that activates automatically unless you pause activation. When your account is eligible, activation is enabled, and one of its characters is in the game world, Power Hour begins and doubles all eligible skill gains for the next 60 minutes.
-An account can begin one Power Hour every 24 hours. The timer uses real elapsed time, so it continues while you are logged out and is shared by every character on the account. You will receive a message when Power Hour begins and ends.
+An account can begin one Power Hour every 24 hours. The timer uses real elapsed time, so it continues while you are in conference or logged out and is shared by every character on the account. You will receive a message when Power Hour begins and ends.
+Type ''/powerhour'' in conference to check whether Power Hour is ready, how much active time remains, how long until it is available again, and whether activation is paused. You do not need a selected character, and checking does not start Power Hour. If it is ready and activation is enabled, it begins automatically when you enter the world; if it is paused or still on cooldown, entering the world will not activate it yet. Once in the world, use ''powerhour'' without the slash to check your status.
+To save your next Power Hour for later, use ''/powerhour pause'' in conference or ''powerhour pause'' in the world. The setting applies to every character on your account and stays paused across logouts until you unpause. Pausing during an active Power Hour only prevents future activations: the current hour and its bonus continue until the timer expires.
+When you are ready, use ''/powerhour unpause'' in conference to enable automatic activation when you enter the world, or ''powerhour unpause'' in the world to start immediately if eligible. The conference commands do not require a selected character. Unpausing does not restart an active hour or reset the 24-hour cooldown.
 Power Hour only doubles skill gains that would normally be earned; the usual requirements for gaining a skill still apply. Make the most of it by practicing the skills you care about and keeping those skills trained.
