For some reason it can't verify the certificate:

2023-10-08 02:47:59 $$1354 v1049: Alert: nosuccesscount[10] error[Can't connect to thenceforward.net:443 (certificate verify failed)] (paused:708)

You might try testing your site with:

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

which will detect problems that might not show in a browser.

It might be the host performing the fetch is missing the root
certificate needed for your LetsEncrypt certificate, but ssltest is
the place to start.
