Isn't running this as a `@daily` CRON job too much? I thought Let's Encrypt certs were good for 3 months? Why not @monthly or months 0,2,4,6,8,10 ?

If something breaks, you might as well find out about it as soon as possible. That way you have the full 90 days to figure it out at your leisure, instead of 60 or 30.

Right. Also, I just saw that `letsencrypt-auto renew` will only issue new certs if < 30 days left on current cert.
