Certificate expires soon

SSL

Transport Layer Security

The current certificate has fewer than 30 days remaining.

The concept

Why do certificates expire?

Certificates have limited validity periods so ownership and cryptographic credentials are checked regularly. Automated renewal should replace a certificate before its expiry date and deploy it to every public endpoint.

Recommended action

What to do next

  1. Confirm automatic renewal is enabled.
  2. Run a renewal test now.
  3. Check that the renewed certificate is actually deployed at every edge.
Confirmation

How to verify the fix

Reconnect after renewal and confirm the new expiry date and chain.

Interpret carefully

When this result may be wrong

Some platforms renew close to expiry by design; the warning matters only if that automation is healthy.
