Auto renewal of certificates failed

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: wfu.aumtech.com

I ran this command: certbot renew

It produced this output:

Hi @devendra

if you have such an error: Wait one or two hours, try it again.

But: You have one certificate created today:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:wfu.aumtech.com&lu=cert_search

Oh - I see, you have already a new certificate:

https://wfu.aumtech.com/

So it looks ok :wink:

You may have been renewing right when Let’s Encrypt was performing an update:
