At the end of every AutoSSL run, we see the following error logged:

The system finished checking 340 users.
Emptying Let’s Encrypt’s DCV (Domain Control Validation) cache …
[1627840001] libunbound[3341577:0] error: cannot fcntl F_GETFL: Bad file descriptor
[1627840001] libunbound[3341577:0] error: cannot fcntl F_SETFL: Bad file descriptor


Any idea what's going on here and how to fix it?

libunbound is an implementation of a DNS resolver, that does caching and DNSSEC validation. Mainly, These occur due to some sort of Network Problem. Bad File Descriptor problems arise due to LetsEncrypt requiring a higher number of file descriptors in some cases or /tmp Folder having wrong Permissions.
Can you share your OS Specs? or Maybe Open a Ticket with cPanel directly so that they may look into it.
