Hi Lily,
Thanks for following up and confirming the provided suggestion didn't help to resolve the behavior of your AirPods not pausing when you remove them from your ear.
Have you had a chance to forget the Bluetooth pairing between your AirPods and your device, set them up again, and then test the behavior? You can see how to forget the Bluetooth pairing from the following guide: Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue remains, does the behavior persist with other iOS devices you pair the AirPods with?
Kind regards.

Unpair a Bluetooth accessory
To unpair a Bluetooth accessory, tap Settings > Bluetooth, find the device you want to unpair, and tap
, then Forget this Device.
When you Forget this Device on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that accessory is removed from the list of available Bluetooth devices. To add the Bluetooth accessory to your device again, place it back in discovery mode and repeat the steps above to pair it again.
If the issue remains, does the behavior persist with other iOS devices you pair the AirPods with?
Kind regards.
