Best time to renew Home & Contents Insurance

CaptainSkeptical

Hi - my home and contents insurance is due for renewal in mid-November.  I recalled a MSE article from 2018 (which is still on the site) saying you get the cheapest renwal quotes 17 to 30 days before the renewal date, but there's a more recent article saying you get the cheapest quote 15 days in advance.  Does anyone know which MSE article is currently more accurate ?  I suspect the recent article is the accurate one but I don't want to wrongly assume, miss the boat and end up paying more than I should. Thanks.

The current MSE article states that 15 days is the cheapest time for home insurance, but it also has a range of 5-25 days.

Thanks - will hold off a few more days and hopefully get my renewal quote from my existing provider before then.
