Currently, the default ARI window is a 24-hour period centered around the point 2/3rds of the way through the certificate's validity period. For 90-day certs, that works great, giving clients a wide suggested window and a whole month to recover if renewal fails.

But that doesn't work so well for 6-day certs. A 24-hour-wide window is too large to be meaningful, and 1/3rd of the lifetime before expiration is only about two days to recover from failure.

Therefore, for short-lived certs, we should suggest a narrower window at an earlier point in the validity period. The current proposal is a 1-hour-wide window at the 50% mark. Whether this is achieved by scaling the window width and target point linearly with the validity period, or by hardcoding a cutoff, is still up in the air.
