How do you decide when to pause work on a client who won't pay?

ok so i have a client has an invoice 45 days overdue, second one just went out, active project still in progress and work is good, relationship is fine on the surface, but payment keeps slipping.

The awkward part for me do I keep going and risk more exposure or pause and risk damaging the relationship? Right now I just go on gut feel and hope it resolves itself.

The worst part is I actually like this client. That's what makes it hard.

it's confusing. how do you actually make this call? Do you have a threshold? Does someone specific make that decision? Has pausing work ever saved you or cost you a client?

Pause work on client

I'm working for a client and got invoices pile up, hesitant to suspend the work. How do you currently handle the decision to suspend work on a client who's overdue?
