Hi,

Looking at timer example at [1]:

"Add a timer to check for certificate renewal twice a day and include a randomized delay so that ....."

Why try to renew twice a day?

Hi, This interval is recommended by the EFF here: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/arch-nginx [...] running it regularly would give your site a chance of staying online in case a Let's Encrypt-initiated revocation happened for some reason [...] -- Regards, Andy

I understand that there is 30 days before expiration date to renew. I think weekly check should be enough for a server?

Regards, Łukasz
