    Magento 2.4.7 introduces a crucial new indexer command “indexer:set-status” for managing system performance during extensive bulk operations.
    Command syntax:
    𝒃𝒊𝒏/𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓:𝒔𝒆𝒕-𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒔 {𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅|𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅|𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅} [𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓]

    Let’s explore the various status of indexers:

    invalid – Marks indexers as out-of-date, prompting reindexing on the next cron run unless they are suspended.
     suspended – Temporarily stops automatic cron-triggered updates for indexers. This status applies to both update on save and schedule(cronjob) modes, ensuring that automatic updates are paused during intensive operations.
    valid – Indicates that indexer data is up-to-date, with no need for reindexing.
