Team Arenas stop pairing - intended? over-ridable?

Hi

I'm helping chessdojo setup Endgame Sparring arenas. We moved from Chess.com to lichess in July and I'm learning to love Lichess.

However, I'm told that when most arena participants have paused, and only two players are unpaused, these players will only be paired once.

(I can confirm that when only two players are in the arena, the same pair will be paired multiple times).

Is this intended behaviour? If it is intended behaviour, is there a way to specify multiple pairings in this situation at arena creation time?

Faster the time control is, the more pairings you will get against the same person

Bump.

Is there a way to get the arena software to keep re-pairing the same players when everyone else in an arena has paused themselves?
