> Acceptable behavior includes renewing certificates at approximately two thirds of the way through the current certificate’s lifetime.

So you can start renewing with 30d of lifetime remaining. You probably want to retry once or twice before alerting. So lets say 28d between alert and expiry.

That seems somewhat reasonable. But is basically the lower margin of what I consider so. I feel like I should be able to walk away from a system for a month with no urgent maintenance needed. 28d is really cutting it close. I think the previous 60d was generous but that is probably a good thing.

I really hope they don't try to make it shorter than this. Because I really don't want to worry about certificate expiry during a vacation.

Alternatively they could make the acceptable behaviour much higher. For example make 32d certificates but it is acceptable to start renewing them after 24h. Because I don't really care how often my automation renews them. What matters is the time frame between being alerted due to renewal failure and expiry.
