Can't get challenges, does limits matter?

I am trying to certify "русвуз.рф" domain and yesterday I got

with no successful certification (my mistake in Nginx conf)

But not today. Today Nginx logs are empty, does it mean that I hit the limit?

You haven't said how you are requesting your certificate, you will be using some software (certbot, and other tool or your website control panel etc) to request the certificate. That software will log errors somewhere if there is a problem. Yes, you may have temporarily encountered a rate limit.

I have used certbot command in docker

"certonly",
      "-v",
      "--webroot",
      "-w",
      "/usr/share/nginx/html",
      "--email",
      "mtabs_web@hotmail.com",
      "--agree-tos",
            "-d",
            "xn--b1akzejc.xn--p1ai",
            "-d",
            "www.xn--b1akzejc.xn--p1ai",

Today logs of certbot said
DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for xn--b1akzejc.xn--p1ai - check that a DNS record exists for this domain; DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up AAAA for xn--b1akzejc.xn--p1ai - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

I am confused, because https://русвуз.рф/security/login does work, host has resolved well

That doesn't resolve for me. Does that just work from your own network?

Oh!!! When I turned off VPN in doesn't resolve for me also! VPN DNS seems a little bit old, someone changed A AAA records. Thank you for point me!
