The auto-renew feature ensures that your certificate is automatically renewed before it expires to maintain uninterrupted service.
Configure auto-renew to an automation profile or a single certificate or bulk certificates, to automatically renew and install the certificate(s) on your server.
For accounts with Multi-year Plans, auto-renew also allows you to set the automatic renewal of your Multi-year Plan. For more information about these plans, see Multi-year Plans.
Configuring auto-renew means your website will always have a valid TLS/SSL certificate.
Auto-renew settings configured to an automation profile or a certificate will be effective immediately.
