No need to report anything, Let't Encrypt certificates do have a short lifespan by intent ;)

So you are saying that cert's should be okay after the expiry? I disagree and my second post was a reminder that the admin needs to keep any eye on the 3 monthly lets encrypt expiry.

ollydbg's response was good and expected.

Is the certificate not auto renewed by the ACME (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Certificate_Management_Environment)? That's kind of what Let's Encrypt was designed for.

No i don't, expired certificates do not work. Usually the certificates are managed by Certbot, it schedules a cron job (or whatever system the OS uses) to check the certificates daily and acquire and install new ones automatically when the current ones are about to expire.
