Hi,
It would help to see your nginx configuration.
What's the output of:
sudo nginx -T

I don't see anything obviously wrong. It seems like it should work and I'm able to renew locally using your nginx configuration.
What version of Certbot do you have?
certbot --version
Does renewing with --nginx-sleep-seconds help?
certbot certonly --dry-run --nginx -d maeja.ml -d matcreations.tk --nginx-sleep-seconds 10I'm using certbot 1.20.0 and certbot certonly --dry-run --nginx -d maeja.ml -d matcreations.tk --nginx-sleep-seconds 10 has same result
Hi @dev123 and welcome to the LE community forum 
The HTTP challenge requests are being redirected to HTTPS.
The HTTPS vhost proxies those requests to the @webserver.
[proxy_pass http://frappe-bench-frappe;]
I would replace the current HTTP vhost as follows; Adding a dedicated path and matching location handler in the HTTP vhost for the challenge requests.
Like:
server {
listen 80;
server_name
chipo.maeja
maeja.ml
matcreations.com
matcreations.tk
;
location ^/(?!\.well-known) { # skip challenge requests
return 301 https://$host$request_uri; # send all requests to HTTPS
}# location
root /new/dedicated/challenge/path; # path for challenge requests
}
Be sure to create that "new dedicated challenge path".

Hello @rg305 and thanks for the reply. I'm not specialized in this stuff and I'm new to all this. Can you kindly list what I have to do exactly step by step🙏

Step #1: Create a new path (directory) specifically for the challenge files to be served from.
mkdir -p /whatever/path/you/choose
Step #2 Edit the file you showed above.
Replace the server section that handles HTTP with the server section I provided.
[be sure to use the actual path you created in Step #1]
Step #3 Restart web service
Step #4 TEST
certbot certonly --nginx -d maeja.ml -d matcreations.tk --dry-run
If TEST fails, STOP and reply with failing message.
Step #5 Issue cert
certbot certonly --nginx -d maeja.ml -d matcreations.tk
Step #6 Use the cert
[I leave that for you to decide how to best use it]

I'm getting same error when I test.... Is there a way I can just restart everything
Please show the modified vhost config file.
And the error message returned.
There is always a way to restart everything...
I just don't see how that will remove the problem.
I some how messed up the nginx config when I tried to do what you said. I'm trying to fix it at the moment. I let you know when I'm done so that I'll send it
