Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors:
Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal.
Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records.
I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
I think thats the case for most of us. But for some like myself, it does mean I have to do the monitoring myself now. I can’t complain it was a free service. But it did warn me about a renewal problem before the cert expired, so it was a useful service for me.
