is there a way to stop evaluating an audience, but still have it available for destination and to use it in other audiences

Can you please let me know if there is an option to create an audience as batch evaluation and publish it, wait for the audience evaluation job to run, once it is evaluated one time, is there a way to stop further evaluation but still have the audience available for activation to destination, and use it in other audiences.

In AEP:

• If an audience is published, it is automatically evaluated on every batch run.
• There is no “freeze audience” or “evaluate once” mode.
• AEP must continually recalculate audiences to keep Profile Store and destinations accurate.
• Adobe does not allow disabling evaluation while keeping the audience “active,” because it could generate inconsistent or stale profile results.

So you cannot stop evaluation and still use the audience for activation or building other segments.

You can do

• Snapshot the audience into a dataset, then build a new static audience
• Activate the audience once.
• Export the audience qualified profiles into a dataset.
• Create a new dataset-based audience (static list).

This "freezes" the result — but it requires manual or workflow processing.
