So as you can see above certbot thinks the certificates are valid, however the system date shows that they are not…

When I try to renew it tells me the certs are not due for renewal

is of form YYYY-MM-DD (September 07, 2019).

Formatting dates with ISO 8601 - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is fairly common in programming and computers, but I guess it can be confusing for others who are not used to it.

Oh I see, but the site was still showing expired certificates earlier despite restarting the server. It seems ok now. Thanks!
