In the EUBGF rules is covered when you can stop a clock. I have always considered the clock can be paused every time the opponent complains about something you don't agree and you feel will lead to a dispute, you can call the TD. In your case he considered he has a reason to disturb you because you could take an advantage, for sure you should have paused instantly the clock, you would have gained more time to think instead of losing. This is with today rules, that time I don't know if it was specified something.
PAUSING THE GAME CLOCK - Pausing the game clock is only permitted in the following seven situations: (a) when a game has been played to conclusion; (b) during breaks. If one or both players are leaving the game table, both players must note down the times on the game clock on their scorecards. If the players have not noted the times on the game clock and the game clock has been activated during the break, the Tournament Director must be called immediately. The Tournament Director shall then set the time on the game clock according to his best estimate; (c) when the Tournament Director is called or when the Tournament Director requests it; (d) when a player has picked up the dice before the opponent has ended his turn in accordance with section 4.1, subsection (v) (b); (e) when a player has picked up the dice and activated his opponent’s time; (f) when a player demands that an illegal move or presumed illegal move is remade in accordance with section 4.2, subsection (iii) (c); and (g) when a player believes that the game is settled. If his opponent concurs, the players note down the result of the game and the next game may be started. If his opponent disagrees, the game clock is restarted if it has been paused and the game is played to conclusion.
