Subject: [PATCH pve-manager 2/2] fix #8006: api: acme: lifetime-based certificate renewal threshold
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 14:31:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006123120.68750-3-d.riley@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006123120.68750-1-d.riley@proxmox.com>
Replace the hardcoded 30-day renewal limit with a threshold based on
the certificate's actual lifetime.
The previous hardcoded limit caused excessive daily renewals for
short-lived certificates (e.g., 31 days). This change ensures they
renew at sensible intervals, avoiding upstream rate limits.
