How to Pause a Custom Game in Valorant
Pausing a custom game in Valorant is super easy! First, make sure you're the game host or have been given ‘Pause Match During Buy Phase’ permissions by the host. When you are in the match, just hit ‘Esc’ to open the main menu, and there you’ll see the ‘Match’ tab. Click on it, and you’ll find the ‘Pause Match’ option. Just click that, and boom, your game is paused. To resume, just follow the same steps and click ‘Resume Match.’ Remember, you can only pause during the buy phases at the start of each round.

No pause button. Gotta earn that pause by being the host or getting permissions. Then it's all about timing in the buy phase.
You can't actually pause a Valorant game whenever you feel like it. Gotta have that timing right during the buy phase. Just make sure you're the boss (game host) or got the green light (permissions) from them.
