Hi, I just commented out deny.conf in the nginx conf and got it to renew.

Perhaps the issue is how I have the certbot .well-known set up

    # Include bot blocker configuration
    include /etc/nginx/bots.d/blockbots.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/bots.d/ddos.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/deny.d/deny.conf;

    location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
        root /var/www/certbot/;
    }

in deny.conf the .well-known is set up this way:

        location /.well-known/acme-challenge {
        allow all;
        default_type "text/plain";
        root         /tmp/letsencrypt;
        autoindex    on;
        }
