Accidentally started FileVault decryption

I turned off FileVault accidentally.

Now my mac is waiting for a power adapter to resume decryption (which is never started).


I don't want to start the decryption process. How can I solve this problem?


Thank you!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1

The only way to solve it is to let it complete the description, then turn on FileVault, again.
