Why each option
The `vault lease renew` command extends a secret's lease by incrementing its duration from the precise moment the renewal request is processed.
When a lease is renewed using `vault lease renew`, Vault calculates the new expiry time by adding the specified or default increment to the current timestamp, effectively restarting the lease duration from the moment of renewal.
Incrementing the lease time from the end of the existing lease would extend its current expiry date, which is contrary to Vault's lease renewal model where the lease duration is reset from the point of renewal.
