Ending Support for Expiration Notification Emails
letsencrypt.org
Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The decision to end this service is the result of the following factors: Over the past 10 years more and more of our subscribers have been able to put reliable automation into place for certificate renewal. Providing expiration notification emails means that we have to retain millions of email addresses connected to issuance records.

I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

    This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

        There are a lot of embedded systems that do not offer API support to swap out certificates. Things like switches, dvr, nas devices, etc.

          How are those devices affected by having no notification anymore? The manual labor exists anyway.

          Most network switches and devices have a web gui to switch them out. Those can be automated.
