They've been slowly moving the time lower and lower. It will go lower than 45 days in the future, but the reason why we don't go immediately to 1 hour is that it would be too much of a shock.

It's all automated. They don't need help to stay online.

re too much shock, how so?

I'd say two big reasons: 1) A lot of people/enterprises/companies/systems are not ready. They're simply not automated or even close to it.

2) Clock skew.

Nope. I renew my LE certs manually. I take my http server down, run certbot, and pull http back online
