Hello Nicole. Yes, this is intentional. The "no renewal before" setting is the
only way for the cronjob to know whether it is too soon for renewal or not. So
without it, it will just renew every time it runs. Unless another restriction
is met.

There is a flag in the database called issues.auto_renew. If automatic renewal
is scheduled by issing rule, this flag will be set for all issues where the
rule applies. By checkbox the same flag is set, just for one issue. It makes no
difference for the automatic renewal cronjob. It just tries to renew every
flagged issue and uses the "no renewal before" settig from the issuing rule
that applies.
