I understand the usual recourse for this kind of error is to wait for the outage to be corrected, but as the status page is all green I wonder if there is an outage or something else is wrong.

It started working again.

Thanks for reporting! We did have an outage last night (https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/incident/55957a99e800baa4470002da/579c7560097aa14d7f0000fd), but you may have checked before the notice was up.

Glad things are working for you again.
