Yeah, post count being paused is very very possible and I'm saying this because I have also experienced it too, and to be honest I don't see a post count being paused as a problem because it is just a normal thing which I believe that there is a reason for that.
For example when I got up to 40 post I had to wait for seven days before my post would count again and also when I got to 130 days I had to wait for 30days before I could resume posting, so that's just normal
