How soon can a let's encrypt certificate be successfully renewed?

  • 772

Figured a simple Google search will have the answer on top but apparently I can't find it.

I understand one can try let's encrypt renewal every day without penalty but what is the soonest a certificate can be successfully renewed?

lets-encrypt

    By default, it's set to renew if the expiration is within 30 days.

    https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/e048da1e389ede7a52bd518ab4ebf9a0b18bfafc/certbot/certbot/_internal/constants.py#L141

    You can configure this by changing the renew_before_expiry value in the config.
