One of the problems with Let's Encrypt is
that you set up your server, you get a LE certificate, you set up a cron
job for renewal. And then 90 days later you find out that your cron job
didn't work for $reasons and the cert expired.
Debian provides a systemd timer definition to take care of this for you as
a standard part of its certbot package. By default the timer task runs
twice a day.
If you want to handcraft your own solution, have it run at a similar
frequency, at least to start with, to ensure it works properly. You can
also test out dummy renewals as part of that process.
