I am so grateful for this. Bummer that they stopped with the email reminder, anyways I was wondering how this would work without active payments. Still amazing.

Out of interest why do you care? I assume you’re using acme to automate renewals. Is it in case that fails? Or do you work with some system that can’t be automated?

  • Literally just got bit by this. I added a wildcard domain to a cert servicing multiple sites. Apparently the verification process for wildcards is more onerous and even when you have it working it wont renew in the same way as a normal cert. It requires specific workarounds based on your dns provider. Appreciative that we moved away from paid certs that required manual work to renew every year but this feels like a mismanaged backslide.
