The issue is caused by the updated Let's Encrypt extension version 3.1.13, which relies on newer PHP handlers from 18.0.50 and newer. This behavior is registered as bug #EXTLETSENC-1218.
A hotfix has already been released to address this issue in extension version 3.1.14 for Plesk 18.0.49 and older.
Resolution
1.Connect to the server via SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows)
2.Execute the following command to update the Let's Encrypt extension as a root user on Linux or in command prompt as an Administrator on Windows):
#plesk bin extension --upgrade-url https://ext.plesk.com/packages/16835ed5-f030-4645-a4af-b1afe60e783a-letsencrypt/download?3.1.14-871
