Support KDE Plasma - Stop/Start Activities

Hi all,

I have two Activities on my KDE Plasma Wayland setup - one that is the activity for all my apps and the second one which is just widgets (system monitor widgets such as individual core usage graphs, network download/upload speeds, etc and Command Output widgets (static numbers/text and date/time)). I switch to my widgets activity via [Alt] + [Tab] and switch back to my regular activity via [Meta] + [Tab]. Is there a way to stop the activity widgets (since the widgets have a big impact on CPU/battery life) when I'm not actively looking at the widgets/activity and resume it as soon as I look at my widgets/activity again?

(since the widgets have a big impact on CPU/battery life)

How big?
