Certificate auto-renewal
The certificate auto-renewal feature allows you to manage your certificates by instructing DigiCert to automatically renew your certificate before your current certificate expires.
When certificate auto-renewal is enabled:
Your private certificates will auto-renew six hours before the certificate expires.
Your public certificates will auto-renew 14 days before the certificate expires because it requires a compliance review before the certificate can be issued.
