Let’s Encrypt will be reducing the validity period of the certificates we issue. We currently issue certificates valid for 90 days, which will be cut in half to 45 days by 2028. This change is being made along with the rest of the industry, as required by the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, which set the technical requirements that we must follow. All publicly-trusted Certificate Authorities like Let’s Encrypt will be making similar changes. Reducing how long certificates are valid for helps improve the security of the internet, by limiting the scope of compromise, and making certificate revocation technologies more efficient.

    Si generas tu propio certificado puedes ponerle que dure 99999 días. Pero en estos días renovar un certificado en LE es completamente autónomo (siempre que tu reserva de dominio y tu correo estén funcionando bien), así que no tiene sentido ya trabajar con certificados autofirmados a menos que necesites generar certificados en un sistema completamente aislado de internet.
