Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command:
Sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:
List of all domains to add the new certificate and I selected the appropriate number after that throwing this error:
An unexpected error occurred:
The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Error creating new authz :: Validations for new domains are disabled in the V1 API (End of Life Plan for ACMEv1)

The error clearly states he’s connecting to the version 1 API, which is disabled.
