I can confirm this. In my case, I can create a ssl certificate which is then set to inactive. I then assign this certificate to a redirect host. According to npm, the certificate is still inactive (!), but the domain uses it correctly (it is accessible via https, which was not possible before). In my case it is therefore a display error. Tested with cloudflare API.

Anyone know if this is just visually not display correctly. Are Lets Encrypt certificates automatically renewing still?

Seeing it in: v2.12.6.
Only on redirect hosts

Looks like this is a dup of #4455 and is fixed by pull request #4770
