My domain is: hainaux.net, *.hainaux.net
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The following errors were reported by the server:
Domain: hainaux.net
Type: unauthorized
Detail: No TXT record found at _acme-challenge.hainaux.net
Domain: hainaux.net
Type: unauthorized
Detail: No TXT record found at _acme-challenge.hainaux.net
To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.
My web server is (include version): nginx 1.18
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: OVH
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): YES
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): NO
The version of my client is: certbot 1.13.0
From my previous discussion, I understood the DNS plugin for OVH would handle the TXT record of the correct subdomain in order to pass the challenge. Is that correct?
If yes, then what is actually failing then, how may I fix this?
If no, then does it mean I should manually create the TXT record? (and fill it with which value?)
Should I better discard the automatic renewal and create a new certificate from scratch, via the command I issued the first time? (certbot certonly --dns-ovh --dns-ovh-credentials /root/.ssl/ovh.ini -d hainaux.net -d "*.hainaux.net")
Many thanks for your help!
