Rate Limit doc: [Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)  
You've hit the **Duplicate Certificate** limit, so you'll need actually to wait until that limit expires.

11 May 2020 15:10:46 UTC is the next time you can request the **same set** of certificates.

There is only one way to bypass the rate limit:

> A certificate is considered a renewal (or a duplicate) of an earlier certificate if it contains the same set of hostnames, ignoring capitalization and ordering of hostnames. For instance, if you requested a certificate for the names [`www.example.com,` `example.com`], you could request four more certificates for [`www.example.com,` `example.com`] during the week. If you changed the set of hostnames by adding [`blog.example.com`], you would be able to request additional certificates.

A tip: You are using Route53 as your DNS provider, and certbot-auto has integration for that (so you don't need to **manually** add records **and** issue new certificate when renew, just use the `./certbot-auto renew` if you setup correctly). See this thread for more information: [Example of using certbot-auto with Route 53 DNS?](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/example-of-using-certbot-auto-with-route-53-dns/53021/)
