When registering a user via the rest API /wp-json/wp/v2/users endpoint it is automatically activating the user, WHY???

[ad_1]

Everything I can find online is saying that they should stay in a pending state but I am getting an issue where the user is automatically activated.

Even chatgpt says this is normal but this person: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-users-via-rest-api/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-users-via-rest-api/)

is getting what I want and that is just one of many places I see where users are pended instead of activated like I want.
