It is important to regularly renew your SSL certificate to maintain the security and reliability of your website. As of Sept. 1, 2020, there is an industry policy in place that allows SSL certificates a maximum validity period of 398 days (about 13 months). This means you should renew your SSL certificate at least once a year.

Since Sept. 1, 2020, it has been decided that certificates can have a maximum duration of 398 days (13 months). So you will renew your certificate annually. This was decided with certain security rules
