I can confirm both of Louis' comments: - you can run it daily and it doesn't abuse their server or change the certificate until <30 days remain. That's the setup I use daily in cron, but shown here from the command line:
# letsencrypt renew Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/www.q42.me.conf Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/supportfolio.com.conf The following certs are not due for renewal yet: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.q42.me/fullchain.pem (skipped) /etc/letsencrypt/live/supportfolio.com/fullchain.pem (skipped) No renewals were attempted. - my server had the problem that it didn't trigger a webserver restart until I updated the cron script to also restart apache.
