Hello all,
I encountered the same issue (SSL expiration) and followed the guide found here as shared by @issa (thanks BTW) to upgrade from version [{"client": (v1.0.0), "server": (v1.0.3)}] to v1.3.
Thing is, the certificate didn't renew with this process and while combing through this, I found @yanokwa's suggestion and followed it. I then found this in one log file

2021-11-02 16:55:43,517:DEBUG:certbot._internal.display.obj:Notifying user:
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: [redacted]

Detail: Fetching http://[redacted]/.well-known/acme-challenge/ZHhRFuV61Dd7pYw78ZnbddNe46o1DfY0D3BXBWHXMh8: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the temporary challenge files created by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains serve their content from the provided --webroot-path/-w and that files created there can be downloaded from the internet.

Any ideas that might help my case?
