I am creating a certificate like this

```auto
certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/certbot \
    --email support@example.com \
    --expand \
    -d domain1.com,domain2.com,domain3.com \
    --rsa-key-size 4096 \
    --agree-tos \
    --no-eff-email

```

However, subsequent `certbot renew` runs do not renew this multi domain certificate it seems?

Hi and welcome!

What is the error message shown in the logs?  
Are all three domains served from the same webroot?
