TLS Certificate Lifetimes Will Officially Reduce to 47 DaysThe CA/Browser Forum has officially voted to amend the TLS Baseline Requirements to set a schedule for shortening both the lifetime of TLS certificates.

• From today until March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate is 398 days.
• As of March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 200 days.
• As of March 15, 2027, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 100 days.
• As of March 15, 2029, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 47 days.

I see a huge impact here on some compagnies.

May be time to push more open source cert renewal automation projects? I’m aware certbot and many tools already exist.

But this will be challenging.
