They informed that ACME renewal information (ARI) is in use and clients that support the extension should renew certificates automatically. However, none of our caddy servers did that. I checked the renewal information for one certificate (manually constructed the link) and it showed this: { "suggestedWindow": { "start": "2026-07-16T00:00:00Z", "end": "2026-07-19T23:59:59Z" } } This is our Caddyfile (sensitive information stripped): # Caddyfile { email EMAIL acme_ca https://acme/account/directory acme_eab { key_id KEY mac_key MAC } log { level debug } } server.example.com { bind public_ipv4 reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 encode gzip zstd } Greatful for any hints on why things did not work as expected. fritterhoff (Florian) July 22, 2026, 4:52am 2 Hi. We are running a similar problem. From mypoint of view that happend due to the lack of the renewal_info in the certificate metadata stored by caddy. Since we have to do the same thing in a larger amount i currently try to understand if I simply can wire an invalid entry into the metadata. thesix (Jogi Hofmüller) July 22, 2026, 9:28am 3 I just realized that we run outdated versions of caddy (2.6.2) for some services. The more recent versions of caddy report ARI errors like this: Jul 22 07:41:06 hostname caddy[1106]: {"level":"error","ts":1784698866.4338744,"logger":"tls.cache.maintenance","msg":"updating ARI","error":"could not fully update ACME renewal info: either no issuer supporting ARI is configured for certificate, or all such failed (make sure the ACME CA that issued the certificate is configured)"}
