On February 10, 2027, all Let’s Encrypt subscribers will move to certificates with 64 day lifetimes by default unless they select an even shorter lifetime (45 or 6 days, as previously announced). This means that any certificate we issue or renew on and after that date will have a 64 day validity period, and we expect the last 90-day certificate to expire on May 11, 2027. We will not revoke valid certificates as a part of this process.

      We are moving to shorter certificate lifetimes because this reduces the risk of key compromise and mis-issuance. As a nonprofit we see it as part of our mission to make this change to advance security for everyone using the Web globally.

    I’m already annoyed by how much downtime certificates already cause. Can’t wait for the problem to be even worse. \s
