Confluent Cloud Fully Managed Connectors
Resolution
The task count update for PAUSED Fully Managed connectors is allowed in Confluent Cloud but it will not be enforced. I.e. you can increase/decrease task count when the connector is in PAUSED and connector's configuration will get updated however the new task count will only be effective once the connector is resumed, and this is by design.
Paused connector needs to be resumed for the new task count to be enforced.
Note: Enduser will be billed as per the original tasks for paused connectors
