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: bwis.online
I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run
It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 16.0.4.6 LTS
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Linode
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): 0.28.0
I’ve renewed using the existing settings before successfully without any issues but for some reason it isn’t having it this time. I can also place files in the .well-known/acme-challenge folder and access them online (https://www.bwis.online/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234 is there currently). Permissions on those folders are 755.
I’ve seen a few people mentioning IPv6 on here, saying that you can’t have those in your DNS if you don’t have the config. I’ve removed those. I’ve also added a CAA entry although I don’t think that was related. I’ve also noticed some people saying it’s now done on port 80, but it seems to be redirecting to 443 ok (I have redirects setup in my apache config). Any ideas?
UPDATE - I’ve just updated certbot to 0.31.0 and I still get the same output
