title: How to stop renewing a letsencrypt/certbot certificate?
body: <p>There are lots of tutorials online of how to create and renew a certificate with letsencrypt, but I want to remove and stop renewing a certificate that I created (it was only created for testing purposes). How do I stop renewing one certificate originally obtained with the <code>letsencrypt</code> command (while still continuing to renew other certificates)?</p>
  
  <p>I don't see a single instance of anyone asking this question anywhere else, nor a command in <code>man letsencrypt</code> that seems to do it.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I am renewing certificates with the following cron job:</p>
  
  <pre><code>30 2 * * 1 /usr/bin/letsencrypt renew &gt;&gt; /var/log/le-renew.log
  35 2 * * 1 /bin/systemctl reload nginx
  </code></pre>
