Is is possible to create a non-proxied CNAME and not get a certificate error?
The service I'm forwarding to doesn't support the proxy feature on Cloudflare. The rest of our website though is on cloudflare so I can't create the CNAME somewhere else. Is there a workaround?

It is very possible yea. Since that is unproxied, that cert error is coming from your host, not Cloudflare related
I'm not sure which platform you are using, but some will give that error when they have no certificate for that domain/are not setup for it.

I've been working with them and they said it's a cloudflare issue.
Well sadly they're wrong, not any other way to put it. If it's unproxied, Cloudflare isn't involved other then just for DNS
I tried doing this and using redirect pizza but I get the same error.
have you cleared your resolver cache/waited a few hours for your local dns cache to expire?
If it's not proxied, you need to wait for your dns cache to expire/the change to propagate. Can take a while, some default ISP-operated DNS Resolvers force long ttls
Thank you, it's actually working now. Not exactly like I want but it's an old subdomain so it's working good enough to do the trick. Thanks for your help!
Sure, as for the original issue usually you see that status code when the server you are pointing at isn't configured to accept requests for that hostname ordoesn't have an ssl cert for it. The redirect to xonow.com does work for me now as well
