Question Postgrespl Database

Hello, nice to meet you. I am a beginner in programming from Japan. My English might have mistakes, so I appreciate your understanding.
I have some questions about databases on Render.

I am currently using the Starter plan for a PostgreSQL database.
To stop being charged, should I delete the database?
Is it possible to simply stop the database from running instead of deleting it?
If I only stop the database, will the charges continue?
I’m having difficulty understanding the difference between stopping and deleting the database.

Suspension and Deletion both stop billing. Suspension makes the database unreachable (inactive) but preserves data, Deleting it deletes it irretrievably.

My doubts have been resolved, and I feel relieved now.
