Wrong Let's Encrypt certificate expiration notice?

3 hours ago I got an email saying:

Hello,

Your certificate (or certificates) for the names listed below will expire in 20 days (on 25 Jan 20 18:28 +0000). Please make sure to renew your certificate before then, or visitors to your website will encounter errors.

We recommend renewing certificates automatically when they have a third of their
total lifetime left. For Let's Encrypt's current 90-day certificates, that means
renewing 30 days before expiration. See
https://letsencrypt.org/docs/integration-guide/ for details.

[anteprima.qumran2.net](http://anteprima.qumran2.net/)
[benvenuto.cathopedia.org](http://benvenuto.cathopedia.org/)
etc etc 40 domains more

However, on my server I got:

$ sudo certbot-auto certificates
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

i.e. none of my certificates is going to expire in 20 days.

Should I worry? Why do I receive these email?

Hi @paolobenve

please read the link shared in the mail.

Then check the output of https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=anteprima.qumran2.net#ct-logs

One certificate with 42 domain names ends in 20 days. But there is another certificate with 43 domain names.

So this

is wrong.
