How can I safely pause Cloudflare while using origin cetificates. I’m also preloaded on the Chrome list for HSTS so it’s not like I can temporarily disable SSL either.
Help is appreciated.
You can’t. You’d need real (EDIT: globally recognized) certificates at the host.
Is there a particular reason you need to Pause Cloudflare?
Suppose I don’t have to pause it, but it was something that I’d done occasionally and the feature is there to be used, after all.
Maybe it’s best if I just reinstall the origin on one or two sites, see how it goes. If I can run them without pausing for say a few months, then just reinstall on all of my sites.

Just for the sake of good order 
and to avoid potential confusion for future readers
Origin certificates are real certificates. They simply are only trusted by Cloudflare’s proxies but not mainstream browsers, hence the warning message.
