Cannot Issue Certificate

Help
1

Hello. I host my website through https://hosting24.com and they give my access to full cPanel and Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates. I was having an issue installing certificates, as it was throwing an “unknown error.” So, I kept trying to reissue certificates until I found out that they were actually working the whole time (cPanel was throwing a false error). However in the process I reached my limit (Error during certificate generation: acme error ‘rateLimited’: Error creating new cert :: Too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains:). How long until I can issue a certificate again? I can issue for all my subdomains, but not my root domain. I’ve heard its either a day or a week, and a day has passed.

My site is http://sulliops.co and you can see that Let’s Encrypt is working for my subdomains by visiting https://test.sulliops.co

The rate limits are defined at https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

You shouldn’t need a new certificate though ( assuming you kept one ). Alternatively go to https://crt.sh/?q=sulliops.co and click on the “crt.sh ID” and then on '“certificate” to download a copy of the certificate ( you will still need your private key, which I assume you have )

Ok, i see the rate limits. But, when I upload a certificate, and use my private key it says “the RSA does not match the certificate.” How do I find the right private key?

EDIT: I found the key I had generated, it just had to match the domains i had put into the certificate. Thank you for your help.
