I'm using Matlab 2020a to do some simulation. The old code has been used for monthly, but starting from last week it always run into an automatic pause showing "Paused: Press any key" on the lower left cornor of the command Window...Sometimes, it paused in a few minutes, and sometimes in about an hour...I do have two lines
pause(1);
pause(0.01);
in the for loop, but it would be run every loop. So I don't know where this pause unexpected come from
Any idea?

This problem appeared in R2016a already: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/278430-why-does-program-execution-hang-when-using-pause
The workaround have been strange. Do you need pause command in your code? Try to replaces them by drawnow. Do you need Matlab to wait for a certain time? Then try:
java.lang.Thread.sleep(duration*1000)
This has less jitter than pause() also.
