Please see the certbot user documentation about the manual plugin, especially the "Renewal with the manual plugin" part.

That seems pretty clear.
Has this cert ever been renewed before?

Then, there is the problem.
It seems that it was issued using --manual.
That would require a similar manual assistance during the renewal.
[that means it can't do it own its' own = automated]

You should review the documentation as prescribed:
