<a name="select-resources-stopping-recording"></a>

You can stop AWS Config from recording with the customer managed configuration recorder any time. After AWS Config stops recording a resource, it retains the configuration information that was previously captured, and you can continue to access this information.

For steps on how to stop recording, see [Stopping the customer managed configuration recorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/managing-recorder_console-stop.html).
