This is probably my misunderstanding of how it works. Pardon what's probably a silly question, but do all certs work the same way (i.e., certs are never "renewed" but just reissued with new dates)?

This is correct.

The question arises. How Letsencrypt handle reissued certificates under one domain? Guess if I reissue million times for a specific domain, does this override the previous certificates on their database or does it create valid certificates each time I reissue? Thanks for the script.
