You are reading the manual for the 9 Peak but the watch you are showing is the 9 Peak Pro, which has a significantly different menu system.
When the watch is paused, to see the time use the middle button to cycle to a data screen that has the time at the top. To see the battery level, either:
press and hold the bottom button, which will take you directly to the control panel screen, which shows the charge %, or
press the bottom button once and then select control panel from the menu, which then takes you to the same place.
You can also do 1) to see the battery charge without pausing the recording.
I don’t use autopause but this is how it works with the 9 Peak Pro after manually pausing, so I expect it’ll be the same in autopause.
