If renewal fails, Certbot will log an error message. Check the Certbot logs (usually in `/var/log/letsencrypt/`) for details. Common causes include DNS propagation issues, Cloudflare API errors, or incorrect credentials. You may need to manually re-run `certbot renew` or investigate the specific error message.
