My domain is: eco-toimistotarvikkeet.fi I got other domains too. But if I solve this other domains is solved too. So under eco-toimistotarvikkeet.fi I got
1 hiekkalaatikko.eco-toimistotarvikkeet.fi
2 template.eco-toimistotarvikkeet.fi
3 static.eco-toimistotarvikkeet.fi
All these has own certificate.

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output: (I put here only warning or error lines)

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): YES

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): NP

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

certbot --version
certbot 0.31.0
I have been using certbot-auto but today I got email from my server

Your system is not supported by certbot-auto anymore.
Certbot will no longer receive updates.
Please visit https://certbot.eff.org/ to check for other alternatives.

And I found out that certbot-auto is not supported anymore. My certbot-auto version is certbot 1.9.0

So what I must do? Why new certbot version can't parse these files? Can anyone pleae help me!

It's just a warning, not an error. It is possible some configuration options were added in a newer version and an older version wouldn't understand those. For example, since 1.10.0 there's ECDSA support, but an older certbot version wouldn't understand those options.

Sounds like you might have multiple versions of certbot.
If so, you shouldn't.
I would first delete/remove the oldest one.

This advice would mean OP would keep using the deprecated certbot-auto script, which I don't recommend.
