I don't think that's a safe assumption - the CA could be adjusting its
renewal window for all certificates.

There are probably other heuristics that could be used (like whether
the window differs significantly from other certificates issued by the
CA), or you could try to scrape explanationURL, but it would be much
more reliable if this could just be conveyed in the ARI document.
