What happens to data in watsonx.data when a Presto or Spark engine is paused?

Because watsonx.data separates storage from compute; pausing an engine releases only the compute resources; all data persists in object storage and remains accessible when the engine is resumed. The incorrect options ("Data is deleted from object storage to save costs", "All active queries are committed and results are stored in a temp table", "The metastore schemas are archived and must be restored before querying resumes") are distractors that don't fully capture the concept described.
