Pick a new IP POST

A number its connection holds, or one waiting for its next scan, moves to a new session in its country now (two checks 30 s apart). 400 on a number that is connected or held for another reason; 503 when no IP was found in its country right now, or the number uses its own proxy (fix it on the proxy side).

Resume a number POST

Back to where the pause found it, and reconnected when that was active. A no-op on a number not paused.
