I ran this command to renew my certificate:
certbot certonly -d 'navdispatch.com,.navdispatch.com,fleetportal.de,.fleetportal.de' --preferred-challenges dns --manual
It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
apache2 2.4.29-1ubuntu4.13
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 18.04
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
yes
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
certbot 0.31.0
I'd like to understand why the number of challenges to renew this certificate is 3.
Last time I renewed it there were 4 challenges. I'd understand if the process became simpler and it only required 2, but 3 is an odd number of challenges for 2 domains with wildcard.
