I ran the command 'certbot certonly --standalone' several times, and unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had port 80 closed on my router because I usually use port 8080.
I would like to know how long I have to wait before I can try again now that I have opened the port.
I checked the provided link, but I couldn't find any indication of time.
Thank you.

Seems like that might be taken as the "trigger" to an offense; But it doesn't necessarily specify the penalty period.

Ok, what happens if I get caught?
That could be elaborated on indeed.
We as regulars would know about the sliding window, but if you're not experienced, that question might be raised indeed, good point.

Exactly as rg305 said. I had interpreted that phrase only as a trigger to activate the penalty.
Thanks for the information.
