Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days (letsencrypt.org)

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.

YES! Keep cutting it down!

Revocation is a lost cause and if you don’t automate you deserve what you get.

The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.

As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.

Just saying:

There are alternatives for LE,not for all things, but for a lot. Afaik not all of them do follow suit.
