If you deactivate a certificate, it will become a **Deactivating** and then an **Inactive** status.

:::note
You may encounter the **Pending Cleanup** status too.
Old certificats aren't deleted until the replacement has been successfully issued, to ensure a hostname does not break while replacing a certificate pack.
When a new certificate successfully issues and replaces an existing certificate pack on the edge, we can be sure that the hostname on the cert is now covered by a another cert so its safe to delete the previous. Until then the status is **Pending Cleanup**.
