Error creating new cert, There were too many requests of a given type

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: myconnectionbuilder.com

I ran this command:
certbot --apache -d myconnectionbuilder.com

It produced this output:
An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: myconnectionbuilder.com

My web server is (include version):Apache/2.4.18

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

Why are you issuing so many certificates?

As you can see from the error message, you’ve hit one of the rate limits.

If you’re testing things, you should have used and should be using the staging server.

You should investigate why six identical certificates had been issued yesterday.
