Sorry, I thought that was what you wanted. When you are talking about
archives, do you just mean the archives widget? I misunderstood your
requirements.

Do you have any ideas as to what I could do ?

You need to remove the "cpt_add_to_posts" code.

For your other issue, you will either have to use a plugin that will list
CPT archives, or write some code to duplicate the archives widget
functionality for your CPT, with the added functionality to restrict the
number of entries.
