Yes, the explanation was here:

> [@Let's Encrypt certificate doesn't automatically renew, but rebuilding does trigger the renewal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/lets-encrypt-certificate-doesnt-automatically-renew-but-rebuilding-does-trigger-the-renewal/383320/5):

> I recently worked on the le cert renewal.
