Authz Pending Limit

[skainz]

Hello,

i too encountered this rate limit today.
For me, it was a cronjob that tried to renew the certs every 12 hours and failed.
So finally i hit that limit.

I now want to delete / disable those pending requests, because sadly, it’s a production system
I already tried the “LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ.py” tool. But i always get this:

Reviewing Auth: owQWEx8raxoV8iV4-jcsWX4bT_l78EDzPcYO9zkQB-I’,
Status: 404 Unable to find authorization

So it looks like the authoizations my server created, dont exist.

Does anyone know a solution to this?
What can one do to clean those pending requests?

greetings from Vienna,

PS: of course i still get the
"There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new authz :: too many currently pending authorizations:" - errormessage.

owQWEx8raxoV8iV4-jcsWX4bT_l78EDzPcYO9zkQB-I',

it definitely exists: https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/owQWEx8raxoV8iV4-jcsWX4bT_l78EDzPcYO9zkQB-I

That ', at the end of output the looks super suspicious and is probably the reason that the tool is giving a 404. Perhaps check your input files and strip the ', away to make the tool work.

I wrote a similar tool here here if you continue to have trouble.

God damn it

You are completely right.
It looked like the ', was part of the debug output

Thank you very much, and have a nice day!!!
