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.

Hello! I have an issue “Error: Let’s Encrypt new auth status 429”. Reistalling OS and VestaCP didn’t help.
Please help me to configure it.

I was click only this parametrs in VestaCP. And I have no idea, where it save the sertificate or where I can see it. After reinstalling OS there is no any save on my server.
Unfortunately, those old certificates still count against your Let’s Encrypt rate limits even if you no longer possess a copy of their private keys. Let’s Encrypt’s rules about this are described in the document that Jürgen linked to above.
It looks like the ratelimit hit is for a duplicate certificate (5 identical certificates in a 7 day period).
You can sort-of get around this by requesting a certificate that is not identical - for example, adding a new domain such as “bypass.example.com”.
there are still other ratelimits, such as “Certificates per Registered Domain” and “overall requests”. but you can get around this particular ratelimit if you are able to add another subdomain to the host.
