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: robotscollective.org

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew

Hi @scharbonneau

normally, that error says: Your client is buggy, you send the commands in the wrong order.

But that with Certbot? Curious. So I don't really understand your output.

First step: Update your Certbot.
