Unable to renew the certificate

Hi there. I need some help with renewing my certificate. I was able to get it up and running some time ago and I’ve not touched the severer ever since. I’ve not touched the amazon settings also. And yet I am not able to renew it. Here is the info that I have:

My domain is: charkolqk.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache
Renewing an existing certificate
Performing the following challenges:
tls-sni-01 challenge for charkolqk.com

Attempting to renew cert (charkolqk.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/charkolqk.com.conf produced an unexpected error: Failed authorization procedure. charkolqk.com (tls-sni-01): urn:acme:error:caa :: CAA record for charkolqk.com prevents issuance. Skipping.
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: charkolqk.com
    Type: None

I am using AWS (Amazon web services) EC2 instance with Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and Apache/2.4.18

$ dig +noall +answer charkolqk.com caa
charkolqk.com.          300     IN      CAA     0 issue "cert.int-x3.letsencrypt.org"

Should be

charkolqk.com.          300     IN      CAA     0 issue "letsencrypt.org"

Thanks! I did try to change the CAA a few times but never with that url. Any ideas on why "cert.int-x3.letsencrypt.org" worked when I created the certificate and it's not working now?
