90 days is 4 times a year. 60 is 6 times, 50% more expensive when you’re paying someone to perform the task.

I had the same thought, but I still find that absurd. Say they host 500,000 websites with HTTPS. 1,000,000 renewals they save spread across the year, roughly 2 renewals a minute. That is pennies. A t2.medium could handle that type of load increase

A bit OT, but what's up with this usage of Amazon EC2 tiers as a unit of computational power?

It is a clearly priced unit of computational power maybe?

i think it’s a combined “fixed cost” rather than just computational power... like you could do it with x, thus it should cost at most y

similar to saying that you could do it with a raspberry pi

Nope, content marketing company

Not webflow. We auto renew way before LE expires the cert.
