Problems with certificate renewal

It was always updated, but this time it stopped and showed such an error:

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: 415.spb.ru
Type: dns
Detail: DNS problem: query timed out looking up A for 415.spb.ru; DNS problem: query timed out looking up AAAA for 415.spb.ru

there are no problems with DNS, all servers are responding, all records are present:

$ dig 415.spb.ru

there are no problems with the firewall, the connection to the address specified in the logs is present:

telnet acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org 443

On another server with exactly the same all daemons settings, the certificate of another domain was updated normally.

My domain is: 415.spb.ru

I ran this command: /usr/local/bin/certbot renew

It produced this output: shown up

My web server is (include version): apache24

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): FreeBSD 12.3

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

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): certbot 1.22.0

I smell a temporary error. Wait a few hours and try again.

Yes, there have been similar topics here for other .ru domains.
I would advise to include at least one nameserver outside the .ru TLD.

one of the slave named servers for this domain in Italy. It doesn't help. Certificates have not been updated yet

can you try every 4-12 hours or so?

do you always get the same error?

this does not mean this:

At least one of your nameservers should be on a different domain, be it .com or anything else (can you still use .su? does it have different nameservers than .ru?)

Sorry, I misunderstood. I was thinking about something else.)) No, I only have .ru SU - it's the Soviet Union. ))) It no longer exists. All my servers are directed to users inside the ru zone network, but recent events make us think about a lot. As well as about changing the registrar.

Now:

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the temporary challenge files created by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains serve their content from the provided --webroot-path/-w and that files created there can be downloaded from the internet.
