Certbot automatically creates a renewal task that runs periodically (usually via cron or systemd timers). When a certificate is nearing expiration, Certbot will use the `dns_cloudflare_api_token` plugin to re-validate your domain ownership and obtain a new certificate, automatically updating the DNS records as needed.
