“I really hope they don’t try to make it shorter than this. Because I really don’t want to worry about certificate expiry during a vacation.”

You might want to consider force-renewing all your certs a few days before your vacation. Then you can go away for over 40 days. (Unless something else breaks…)

Might not be a bad idea if it is within their rate limit rules but I'd really rather not take a manual action before leaving a system alone for a while and not worry that I managed to force renew every single cert.

If you forget a cert then you’re no worse off than the case where the automation fails during the vacation.

You could also run a simple program that checks each site and tells you the remaining lifetime of the cert used, to verify that you didn’t miss any cert.

It all depends on the scale of your operations, of course.
