@Roy, Chandan Thanks for reaching out. You need to enable/disable your timer trigger function. You can either leverage the CLI or PowerShell that is documented here or refer to the previous discussion here where you can leverage the REST API to programmatically enable/disable your functions.

@Roy, Chandan Have you looked in the prevision discussion here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/833338/enable-disable-functions-in-azure-programmically-i

Programmatically you can also use the below REST endpoint to enable/disable a particular function
PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionID}/resourceGroups/{resourcegroupname}/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/{sitename}/functions/{functionappname}/properties/state?api-version=2018-11-01 content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Request Body:

{"properties":"disabled"}

OR {"properties":"enabled"}

To learn more about the Azure REST API please refer to this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/

To call any REST API API using C# please refer to this document : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/advanced/calling-a-web-api-from-a-net-client

@Roy, Chandan If you are getting 401/403 error then please validate whether you have set the right permission or not as documented here. To acquire the token, you to use the MSAL library. Please share your code/application configuration/permission and exactly what error you are getting so I can review it.
