Root CA certificate expired
Your task
Your public API's TLS leaf certificate is valid for another 60 days, yet starting at 06:00 a large set of clients, mostly older Android devices and some Java/IoT clients, fail to connect with 'unable to find valid certification path' / 'certificate expired,' while modern browsers and curl work fine. Dashboards: error rate from mobile SDK clients spikes; web traffic is normal; your cert's notAfter is two months out. Recent context: nothing changed on your side, but news mentions a widely-used root/intermediate CA certificate reached its end date overnight. How do you triage and mitigate?
