Rule-Based Auto-Pause for Inactive Games

With the introduction of Game Progress Automation in 13.22 It would be great to have a new progress automation rule that automatically moves a game from “In Progress” to “Paused” if it hasn’t been played in a user-defined number of days.

💡 Example use case:

If a game is marked as In Progress but hasn’t been launched in, say, 30 days, it could automatically be switched to Paused. This would help keep the library tidy and more accurately reflect what the user is actively playing.

📌 This rule would need to check two conditions:

1. The game is marked In Progress.

2. Its Last Played date is older than the specified threshold (e.g., 7, 14, 30 days).

Bonus idea: The reverse could also be useful—e.g., if a Paused game is launched, it could auto-switch back to In Progress.

This would be a great QOL addition to the Game Progress Automation feature!
