Whoever first recommended using that mode in anything other than some sort of emergency situation needs to be given a firm kick in the butt.
Certbot also has a mode that mangles your apache or nginx config files in an attempt to wire up certificates to your virtual hosts. Whoever wrote the nginx integration also needs a butt kick, it's terrible. I've helped a number of people fix their broken servers after certbot mangled their config files. Just because you're on a crusade to encrypt the web doesn't give you a right to mess with other programs' config files, that's not how Unix works!
It is not as if they couldn't already choose (to buy) such short lifetimes already.
Authoritarianism at its finest.
It is a terrible piece of software. I use dehydrated which I'd much friendlier to automation.
