Answer
By stopping requests to prevent failure propagation.
Circuit Breakers monitor service calls and stop them when failures are detected, preventing overload of struggling components. In a payment system, if a credit card service fails, the Circuit Breaker can halt further requests, allowing services to recover and maintain overall system stability.
