Yes, a first part of this feature has been deployed (the one fetching expiration dates from whois database) but the problem is there's a lot of mistakes in this process because it requires parsing free-text from all different TLD whois format (which is not standard). So we're currently making sure the data is correct (at least when we have it) and improving the parser with the values we see in the wild, to ensure we don't send any false alarms about this when we enable the alerts (also implemented but disabled for now). Knowing this, if you want to try anyway we could enable the alerts for some beta testers, let me know.
Hello, this is still in private beta for now as we are evaluating how reliable this is and adding support for more TLDs. If you want to be part of it let me know ;)
This feature has now been released (disabled by default expect for people enrolled in the beta), feel free to enable it for your account! You can read the announcement here:
@Joshua I have been thinking about displaying it somewhere indeed, and I thought about this popup at first but the problem is that it's only for HTTPS so it wouldn't show for HTTP, TCP, ICMP, etc.. So I haven't found a great place yet. Maybe I'll generalize this tooltip to all protocols but it'll require some design and refactoring ;)

Is there any update on this feature

Hello, what is the current status of this idea?
What are the chances that this will appear in early 2021?
Thanks.

Also display of expiration time in the dashboard and in weekly emails has been added later: https://headwayapp.co/updown-release-notes/domain-name-expiration-247330
And let me know what you think :)
