I assume you have been following the install directions from https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/tree/master/deploy/charts/cert-manager to get the latest cert-manager v0.11.0 instead of using the old version from the Che install doc which lists v0.8.1?
Please run this command and paste the output. Specifically we want to check the status of the ACMEv2 order.
kubectl describe Certificates -n che
kubectl describe ClusterIssuer -n che
Please see my in-line notes on the commands you ran.
