.. _recommended-renewbefore-value-for-certificates-c929cf42b03b:
.. note::
The Certificate usage of Cert-manager Documentation
(https://cert-manager.io/docs/usage/certificate/) states that one should
"Take care when setting the ``renewBefore`` field to be very close to the
duration as this can lead to a renewal loop, where the Certificate is always
in the renewal period."
In the light of the statement above, you must not set ``renewBefore`` to a
value very close to the "duration" value, such as a renewBefore of 29 days
and a duration of 30 days. Instead, you could set values such as
renewBefore=15 days and duration=30 days to avoid renewal loops.
