Why was it stopped? If it was stopped but your case is still pending and prior to it being stopped, over 150 days has gone by since you first filed for asylum (which I assume is correct since you've been able to get one in the first place), you can still renew - C8 EAD. A lot of other reasons on whey the clock could've been stopped though - a final order due to non-appearance in court (in absentia), you did not renew your asylum application in Court etc.... w/ these reasons and others, you may not renew the EAD unless you asked for a different form of relief which would allow you to apply for EAD (cancellation of removal, adjustment of status etc.).
