Renewal fails only for one website

Hello,
I have a vm with 2 websites: welcome.newtimegroup.it and telefoni.newtimegroup.it, with nginx.
telefoni is expired, and I tried to renew it with certbot renew command: it renewed welcome but not telefoni, I tried also with the command certbot certonly -d telefoni.newtimegroup.it, but nothing, here is the log:

any help?
thanks a lot

Probably some performance issues at Let's Encrypts side, nothing particular you can do about except from trying again later as instructed in the error message.

OR
Switch to another free CA [if you need a cert right away].
