<p>i dont found the CR where still using cert-manager.io/v1alpha2 and acme.cert-manager.io/v1alpha2</p>

<p>First of all, suggest to backup all your objects (certs, orders, issuer, clusterissuer, etc. with <a href="https://velero.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">velero</a> for example) !</p>
<p><a href="https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/upgrading/remove-deprecated-apis/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cert-manger documentation</a> suggests using the cert-manager cli as:</p>
<pre><code>cmctl upgrade migrate-api-version
</code></pre>
<p>You may need <code>--skip-stored-version-check</code> if you already tried to fix CRD api manually (<a href="https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/issues/3944#issuecomment-848742996" rel="nofollow noreferrer">like described in this issue</a>):</p>
<pre><code>cmctl upgrade migrate-api-version --skip-stored-version-check
</code></pre>
<p>Finally, if it's failing with the same message, <a href="https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/helm/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">install</a> the 1.6.3 (if CRD is manually installed, upgrade CRD with 1.6.3) and repeat the command <code>cmctl upgrade migrate-api-version</code>.</p>
<p>At last, you can upgrade minor version one by one (1.7, 1.8, etc.) <a href="https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/upgrading/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">as recommended</a></p>
