Error retrieving account, Status 500

Hi,

I started receiving this error: “Error retrieving account error”. This has been working for at least a year.

Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

My domain is: rs411.rsstores2.net

I ran this command: Using Plesk Let’s Encrypt Extension, renewed domain with new alias added.

It produced this output: Invalid response from https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz-v3/6487897451.
Details:
Type: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:serverInternal
Status: 500
Detail: Error retrieving account “https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/acct/58140932

My web server is (include version): IIS Ver 10.0.14393.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Windows Server 2016 Standard Ver 1607

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Managed.com

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):
Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): Plesk Extension, Let’s Encrypt Version 2.11.1-640

Alright, so this link is for your Let's Encrypt acme account. I'm going to do a bit of research to see why you'd be getting this error.

Just for info, per crt.sh | rs411.rsstores2.net, you have a valid certificate dated today:

Just out of curiosity, I’m assuming you tried again and succeeded based on the valid certificate you received today (https://crt.sh/?q=rs411.rsstores2.net)?

I was able to renew the certificate yesterday as along as I did not add any new aliases. I tried renewing today with the new aliases added and today it was successful. I tried multiple times to do this starting last Friday with no success until today. Thanks for the help.

From my research, I’ve found that 5xx errors returned by Let’s Encrypt are typically server hiccups.

I noticed that you have a lot of certificates issued (https://crt.sh/?q=rs411.rsstores2.net), but they’re all for rs411.rsstores2.net and www.rs411.rsstores2.net. By “aliases” I’m assuming you’re referring to subdomains. Were you doing a “testing” run when you added the subdomains?
