How to completely stop revalidating?

[lukasrakauskas]

Hello,
I have a single resource that I'd like to update while it exists. Unfortunately, at some point, it gets deleted and SWR still tries to update and makes unnecessary 404 requests. I am aware that swr uses exponential backoff by default and that works in favour, but I want to stop those requests completely. So my question is there a way to delete a key from revalidating forever? Do I have to write a custom onErrorRetry function or is there a different/better way?

Usually if you don't have a need for a certain key you unmount the component using SWR with that key, and if there is no mounted component using a key SWR will not revalidate it.

Thanks, I managed to get it working by extracting the hook from page component to a smaller component.
