So would I have to buy a new cert every 47 days?
Free certificates have existed for a long time now from providers like Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL.
There are still many apps that don't play nice with automated certificate replacements. I manage a few systems where the entire server needs rebooting, to work properly afterwards. One where a corresponding client-software has to be recompiled and updates distributed simultaneously with the replacement. And one where the certificate and key together needs to be uploaded manually in three different UIs.
