Hello. Thank you for your fast answer!
To get to your question: I have two websites, and I made 5x a mistake (it's really hard), and I have to wipe my OS then, and therefore I have to create a new cert then, and I have to create the cert before I install the website, otherwise the website installation won't work. That might be a problem in the future, because I don't know when the installation will succeed.
You can add --test-cert to that command which gets a test cert. That won't count against rate limits for the production system. When you access your website with it you will get a warning about the invalid test cert but you know it's a test so you can ignore that message.
Once you get everything working just remove --test-cert to get a real cert.
EDIT: Or, make a good backup of the letsencrypt folders and restore those after you rebuild your OS
