Hello everyone,


We use the free version of reCaptcha V2 on an e-commerce site. 

Do you know how to be notified in advance of changes made by Google? 

Recently, certificate changes made by Google made our site unavailable several days before we detected it. 

Indeed, on April 21, 2025, between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM: Google made a change to its certificates (Root and Level 2). 
The certificates changed names and were in the Elliptic Curve algorithm rather than RSA. 
On May 2, 2025, Google reversed course and switched back to RSA.


If we use an enterprise version, are we informed of changes planned by Google in advance ?, or do you know of another way to be informed in advance (linked to the announced changes?)


Thanks in advance

 

Hi @tdmwil ,

For the free reCAPTCHA version, Google does not offer advance notifications for backend or certificate changes — updates are applied globally.

With the enterprise version, you typically get better support and may receive proactive communication on planned changes, but it’s best to confirm this with a Google Cloud sales or support contact.

To monitor changes yourself, consider setting up automated certificate monitoring tools to catch updates early.
