Dns-google plugin renew --dry-run failed

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:
sandbox.aberela.tk

I ran this command:
certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

** DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates below have not been saved.)

My web server is (include version):
I am using dns authentication.

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
I am using dns authentication.

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Google Cloud Platform, GCE

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
no

I currently use the certificate issued by AppEngine’s legend at Letsencrypt.
I am using a wild card certificate, so I am considering automatic updating using the google - dns plugin.
Then I started a server that did the following.

1.Set up the server that installed centos7
2.Execute the following command.
$ sudo yum install certbot python2-certbot-dns-google
$ certbot certonly --manual
-d *.sandbox.aberela.tk -m xxxx@xxxx.com --agree-tos --manual-public-ip-logging-ok
–preferred-challenges dns-01
–server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
$ cd /etc/letsencrypt/renewal
$ vi sandbox.aberela.tk.conf

# Options used in the renewal process
[renewalparams]
account = xxxx
server = https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
authenticator = dns-google ◆manual→dns-google
installer = None
pref_challs = dns-01,

Next, I checked the next page and created a service account.
https://certbot-dns-google.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Next, when I ran the dry-run linking the service account to the GCE instance, I failed.
-> gcloud auth activate-service-account ssl-certificate@xxxx.iam.gserviceaccount.com --key-file /tmp/dns.json --project test

However, if you originally attached a service account to GCE, dry-run will succeed.
