Certificate auto-renewal
The certificate auto-renewal feature allows you to manage your certificates by allowing the system to automatically renew your certificate before your current certificate expires. This is feature was recently added, which means that you may have existing certificate profiles that do not have auto-renewal enabled.
When certificate auto-renewal is enabled:
Your private certificates will auto-renew 6 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.
