 PBR vs GM-CV

I recently switched to using PBR instead of GM-CV for inter-site replication. I've had a few questions:

1. Is it possible to stop replication for just one VG, related to a host, instead of stopping the entire partnership? Some controlled replication stop operations in the current GM-CV are for a single host only.

2. Sometimes it's necessary to increase the cycle mode in GM-CV due to network instability and latency. Does PBR have any similar changes, or is it as replication-sensitive as GM without CV. 

I feel that PBR has some limitations compared to traditional GM-CV.
