Renewing cert times out

My domain is: dlld.org

I ran this command:
/bin/certbot -d certonly “*.dlld.org” -d dlld.org --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-tos -a dns-rfc2136 --dns-rfc2136-propagation-seconds 30 --keep-until-expiring --dns-rfc2136-credentials /etc/credentials.org

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator dns-rfc2136, Installer None
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Renewing an existing certificate
Performing the following challenges:

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Cenbtos Version 7

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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 (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0

My cert expires in 10 days and I would like to get it fixed before then.

Where is the timeout message? Or does it sit on that final line indefinitely?

Could you share your credentials file (with the secret redacted)?

Can you perform a manual nsupdate from the same server where Certbot is installed, using those same credentials successfully?

It sat on the line forever.
Boy do I feel dumb.
I see why now, I moved the servers from in house to the cloud and didn’t change dns server ip addresses.
Thanks for getting me to look in the credential files. I looked at them but didn’t see the ip until I pasted it her\e.
