Certbot-auto is not resulting in updated certificate

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: systematicpoliticalscience.com

I ran this command: certbot-auto

It produced this output:
You have an existing certificate that contains a portion of the domains you
requested (ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/systematicpoliticalscience.com.conf)

It contains these names: systematicpoliticalscience.com,
www.systematicpoliticalscience.com

You requested these names for the new certificate:
systematicpoliticalscience.org, systematicpoliticalscience.com,
new.systematicpoliticalscience.com, old.systematicpoliticalscience.com,
www.systematicpoliticalscience.org, www.systematicpoliticalscience.com.

Do you want to expand and replace this existing certificate with the new
certificate?

I received a complaint today that systematicpoliticalscience.com is giving an error. It appears to have an expired certificate. This time, running certbot-auto a few different ways did not result in a new certificate being installed; https://systematicpoliticalscience.com is still reporting an expired certificate.

What should I be doing differently so that a fresh new certificate is served up from systematicpoliticalscience.com?

Ensure that port 80 (HTTP) is open to the Internet.

This is what I see:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to new.systematicpoliticalscience.com port 80: Connection timed out

This is what others see:

And to complicate matters even more...
The two failing names don't resolve to the same IP:

Name:    new.systematicpoliticalscience.com
