Let's Encrypt has addressed the problem they had previously identified with their cross-signed CA certificates (see https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/upcoming-let-s-encrypt-profile-changes-on-may-13/247049/4). Confluent is now resuming this maintenance operation to replace the intermediate certificates. No downtime is expected. We will provide updates as necessary.

Update

Starting May 13, 2026, TLS certificates used to connect to Confluent Cloud will start using new intermediate certificates provided by Let's Encrypt.

No downtime is expected.

No action is needed if you haven't pinned intermediate certificates. However, if you've pinned intermediate certificates, you need to update your clients' certificates before May 13th or remove the intermediate certificate pinning to avoid connection issues.
