Azure AD tries to retrieve a new certificate from your federation service metadata 30 days before the expiry of the current certificate. In case a new certificate is not available at that time, Azure AD will continue to monitor the metadata on regular daily intervals. As soon as the new certificate is available in the metadata, the federation settings for the domain are updated with the new certificate information. You can use `Get-MsolDomainFederationSettings` to verify if you see the new certificate in the NextSigningCertificate / SigningCertificate.
