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: easternwinds.biz
I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/easternwinds.biz.conf
Cert not due for renewal, but simulating renewal for dry run
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache
