I don't want to only renew the certificates which are going to expire soon. (Whatever soon means). I want to renew all of them to make sure they will be on the same timing in the future.
I cannot find a way to do this with certbot. Any suggestions?

Well, certbot -h renew suggests:
renew:
--force-renewal, --renew-by-default
If a certificate already exists for the requested
domains, renew it now, regardless of whether it is
near expiry.
Somehow the route from letsencrypt to my host was flaky that day and I needed an additional trick. Only some certificates succeeded on the first try and I didn't want to re-request them immediately.
If you want to renew only a specific certificate but really renew that you can use:
certbot renew --cert-name example.com --force-renewal
That saves you retyping all the domains in case you had multiple domains in that cert.
