If I enabled AutoSSL for a cPanel account, the SSL checker will check SSL certificate of all domains of their account in every 24 hours. While checking this, the SSL provider will automatically install a certificate if the domain has not a valid certificate.

By default, the AutoSSL provider will install SSL certificate for all domains. This tutorial will help you how to disable AutoSSL for a particular domain of the cPanel account.
