Let’s Encrypt has announced it will no longer notify users about imminent certificate expirations via email due to high costs, privacy concerns, and unnecessary complexities.

    There will probably be a lot more websites with expired certificates soon.

      There are extensive options for automating renewal. I doubt that more than a small fraction using lets encrypt aren’t already using them.

        Sometimes they fail to update. I would imagine that there are quite a few people who don’t bother setting up monitoring software to let them know if the certificate fails to update.
