Hi Everyone, I am running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS with a One-Click WordPress Droplet.
Today I received the message that my Let’s Encrypt Certificate will expire soon and I need to update it. This is a bit confusing since certbot is set to auto renew
- confirmed auto renew with success message ( sudo certbot renew --dry-run )
- After “sudo certbot renew” I get the response: “Cert not yet due for renewal”
I don’t fully understand what’s happening. How can I confirm that my certificate doesn’t expire soon?

Hello,
Indeed as Matt said it is most likely the case. I would just recommend making sure that your cron runs twice a day and will renew any certificate that’s within thirty days of expiration.
