No account exists with the provided key

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: uniprodo.de

I ran this command:
tried to renew a certificate using let's encrypt extension for Azure web app.

It produced this output:
[AcmeRequestException: Fail to load resource from 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-acct'.
urn:ietf:params:acme:error:accountDoesNotExist: No account exists with the provided key]

Staging Cert has worked. Certs for other domains (the same account) have also worked.

My web server is (include version): Azure WebApp

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
OS version: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.14393.0

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Microsoft Azure

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

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Hi and welcome to the community forum!

Well there is definitely something wrong with your system.
It seems to be creating a new cert every day:

Perhaps it was not installed completely/correctly.
I would try to remove it and reinstall it first.
Then test it against the staging environment until it works correctly before switching to production.

Hi, the problem is that I reinstalled it today and tested the staging, which worked fine, and after switching to prod. I got the mentioned error.

OK, I think the problem may be that the staging and production systems both issues accounts.
But they are NOT interchangeable; prod accounts only work in prod, staging accounts only work in staging.
And you're now using a staging account against a prod system.
I'm not too familiar with your client, but I would look through the docs to see how to replace the account in use.
