Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/issues/280

Describe the bug
When auto_cert -> AutoObtain runs into a problem, the gocron Background task stops and does not run anymore.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have a many certificates, so that the rate limit of let's encrypt is exceeded. (Or have some other problem where let's encrypt certificate validation does not succeed.)
Have certificates that are close to expiring
Look at the nginx-ui logs, it stopped trying to renew the certificates that need to be renewed.

Expected behavior
gocron should continue trying to renew all the certificates every 30 minutes, even if last time there was a problem. (See InitAutoObtainCert)

Screenshots

Info (please complete the following information):

Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Server Arch: aach64
Nginx UI Version: 1.9.9 (110)
Your Browser: N/A

Additional context
I don't know golang, or I would make a PR
