Hi, Is it possible to test the lets-encrypt certificate renewal before 60 days(auto-renewal period) from the day of issuance without deleting and creating a new certificate? My Infrastructure uses GKE Ingress, Cert-manager, and a certificate is issued to the DNS host mapped to the cloud load balancer external IP. If so, what is the process I need to follow? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Let's Encrypt offers a staging environment for testing purposes, such as what you're describing. Please see your softwares documentation on how to test renewal on the staging environment.

cert-manager has a command to manually trigger a renewal:
If you're testing in production, be aware there are rate limits so you shouldn't run that too many times.
