What handles updating your Let's Encrypt certificates so that they're current? I've gotten a second email telling me they're due to expire in 10 days. I'd rather not wait until 10 days transpires and have invalid certificates.

    Ahh, that may be why. I did a reinstall of COS a little over a month ago after my server crashed. It would've been under the same domain name though. Looking under Let's Encrypt on the Webconfig shows it expires on July 11, so it must've renewed recently.

    I'd be a little wary as they should renew 30 days out. If you have been playing round with your certificates, deleting and re-adding them or just creating new ones, the certbot servers remember them all, even if you have deleted them, and you will get reminders for all the old ones that, as far as you are concerned, no longer exist.

    OK, thanks Nick. Looks like everything is OK. Logs say 'not yet ready for renewal' and the cron job looks like it tries to renew every day at 4:15 a.m. The logs concur with this.

    It may be worth checking your log files in case of errors.
