## Upload a custom certificate

:::caution
When using `compatible` or `modern` [bundling](/ssl/edge-certificates/custom-certificates/bundling-methodologies), make sure to upload only the leaf certificate. This will allow Cloudflare to properly handle [intermediate and root certificates expiration](/ssl/edge-certificates/custom-certificates/bundling-methodologies/#intermediate-and-root-certificates).

Or, "certificates' expiration"?

Universal certificates issued by Let's Encrypt, Google Trust Services, or SSL.com have a 90-day validity period. Cloudflare no longer uses DigiCert for newly issued Universal certificates and, for existing ones, the validity period is being adjusted from one year to 90 days.

For 90-days certificates, the auto renewal period starts 30 days before expiration.
