'Stop the time within the test in Hardhat (Solidity)

Is it possible to stop the time within the test, until the time is changed manually via "evm_increaseTime" in Hardhat? For example when we increase time by 1 second:

await ethers.provider.send('evm_increaseTime', [1]);
await ethers.provider.send('evm_mine');

After that we somehow stop the time within the test. Has anybody had similar problem or know the solution to that?

It's possible. You need to set the automine mode to false:

await ethers.provider.send("evm_setAutomine", [false]);

This stops your local blockchain from mining blocks and increasing time automatically after every transaction.
