When using the ACME client in FortiWeb v8, does it automatically re-use the same private/public key for renewals? or does it issue a new key on each renewal?

I don't have a direct answer but you can check if it is updated by running the below command before and after the cert is updated.

show system certificate letsencrypt

In the outputs you compare the old and the new private keys.
