Huge latency on generating certificat

From days now, I have a huge latency to generate or renew any cert.

Here is my last try :
My domain is: blbimmo.fr

I ran this command: certbot-auto certonly -d blbimmobilier.la-boite-immo.com -d blbimmo.fr -d www.blbimmo.fr --http-01-port 63443 --agree-tos --standalone

Here is some logs where you can see the delay…

2020-03-03 11:59:03,677:DEBUG:certbot.crypto_util:Creating CSR: /etc/letsencrypt/csr/29066_csr-certbot.pem

And after all is doing right… But I have a huge number of certificats to generate / renew.

certbot 1.2.0

Is there a specific step which is delayed or are all steps very slow?

If it’s the former, what is the step from the log before the step in time?

All the steps before and after are really quick.

I have the same delay for all certificates, in the same steps : beetween “Received response” and “Creating CSR”.

CPU usage stay low (2 cores, ). No wait on CPU.
Load stable at 1.00 (no other process on this host, it’s used only by letsencrypt, web trafic is managed by haproxy in front of that host).

Here is the log file before :
