Hi there I received a renewal message and we had renewed the cert a few months ago - I am confused about getting this again?

Hello,
Your certificate (or certificates) for the names listed below will expire in
9 days (on 01 Jul 17 22:41 +0000). Please make sure to renew
your certificate before then, or visitors to your website will encounter errors.
While you might be used to certificates from other CAs with longer validity periods, all Let’s Encrypt certificates expire after 90 days. Your current certificate does, indeed, expire at the beginning of July, having been issued at the beginning of April.
We strongly encourage creators of tools that people use with Let’s Encrypt to support automated renewal so that the inconvenience of renewal will be minimized. Maybe you can check if whatever method you’re using to get a certificate could be automated so that you won’t have to take action in this situation as frequently.
Hi @schoen
oh no - my engineer is out of the country and I don’t know how to do the renewal. Is it possible to get an extension otherwise the site will go down right ?
All Let’s Encrypt certificates are issued automatically by a computer, and there’s no such thing technically as extending one, only issuing a new one. (The expiration date is built into each certificate, so when a certificate is going to expire, it should simply be replaced by the new updated certificate.) The new certificate needs to be installed on your own server in order to be effective; there’s nothing that could be done from the Let’s Encrypt site that would substitute for that process.
If you can tell us more about your hosting environment, we might be able to help you figure out how to renew your certificate or whether there is someone else who might be able to help you do it.
It’s true that visitors to your site will start to encounter browser errors if your certificate isn’t replaced with a new, updated certificate by July 1.
