I'm no longer puzzled.

**Co-in-ci-dence**

- They recently added a new firewall [which has been proven _partly_ to blame]
- LE recently changed its' Multi-Perspective Validation [which now includes two new countries]  
See: [Let's Encrypt is adding two new remote perspectives for domain validation - API Announcements - Let's Encrypt Community Support (letsencrypt.org)](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/lets-encrypt-is-adding-two-new-remote-perspectives-for-domain-validation/214123)

I say:  
We were dealing with two problems - that are very similar and just happen to overlap each other in this 60 day renewal period.
