If untapping a permanent is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain's first ability), you may pay that cost by "untapping" a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it. The stun counter will be removed and the creature will remain tapped. However, the cost will still be paid.
wotc14 Oct 2022
If a tapped permanent with a stun counter on it would become untapped, a stun counter will be removed from it instead. This is a replacement effect.
wotc14 Oct 2022
Stun counters replace untapping for any reason, including players untapping tapped permanents during their untap steps.
wotc14 Oct 2022
Abilities that trigger when a permanent "becomes untapped" won't trigger if a stun counter is removed instead.
wotc14 Oct 2022
Stun counters exist independently of the effects that created them. If a permanent has no stun counters on it, it will untap as normal.
wotc14 Oct 2022
On the other hand, if untapping multiple permanents is part of a cost (such as that of Halo Fountain's last two abilities), you can't "untap" the same permanent more than once to pay that cost.
