eNACH mandate creation and transactions are usually observed to fail due to several operational or customer-driven errors.
You can view some of the common ones here

eNach mandate creation is limited to only savings accounts and individual (proprietor) current accounts. It is not supported for other types of current account i.e., pvt limited, or trust accounts and other current account types where there are multiple owners of the account. For individual (proprietor) current accounts as well, most of the destination banks (end customers bank) do not support mandate creations. In these cases, it is advised to check with the destination bank (incase of any policy change), or use Physical Nach (where customers’ signature is present).

The table below lists the intent applications supported by Subscriptions.

Yes, your customers can pause and cancel the mandate from their UPI application (Mandates section > Active mandates > Pause/ Cancel mandate > Submit).

No. Only your customer has the option to resume the mandate which was previously paused.
