I did not get to it over the weekend due to a lack of Air Conditioning in our house. Ain't nobody got time for working in 95+ temperatures. I hope to get to it this weekend.

Don't you have to update the certs every 3 months regardless? Don't you get the renewal 30 days before expiry regardless? Unless your current installed LE certs will never expire, what is the point of this? Delaying some bot generated emails a few days?

Because I renew the certs daily with certbot.
It automatically renews at 30 days out. I never see renew emails.

Could you temporary use Cloudflare SSL to avoid the expiring certs emails?
No, because the emails come from LE.
I think he meant use the Cloudflare certs because they have multi year expiration.

Oh wait. Do you mean that if you or then on a new server the emails will come because the old one is expiring? Or you just don't want new expiration notifications?

If you start over with a new system so you still get notifications of old certs expiring? Aren't these handled at the domain level so it knows that a new system has a newer cert? Honestly asking since I haven't run into this yet.

No. It is handled on the cert serial number level.

I've moved things in the past by simply reissuing on the new server, and dealing with the expiring certs is an annoyance.
