A question about certbot apt vs snap on Ubuntu

I don't know how the snap renewal service should end if there are failing renewals. It's probably functioning as it should: if Certbots renewal fails due to some problematic renewal, it makes sense that the renewal service fails too?

Yes. I think this is the case.

Looking at the log file, I think everything is working fine. The renewal process starts up, fails to renew those two certificates, and exits with a non-zero exit code.

systemd picks this up as a failure, as noted:
