Hit rate limit renewing certificates

Help
1

I’m trying to renew my certificates and the standalone certbot doesn’t seem to be working anymore. After trying several times I’ve now hit the rate limit. Now I cannot even try. My product manages certs for a lot of my customers. And apparently I have less than a day or the entire product will be broken. This is a nightmare. With barely hours notice, Letsencrypt decided to break the entire product.

Why couldn’t we have a few days notice for this at least? Can I opt out of revoking my certificates?

Hi,

I moved your post to a new topic so we can provide more detailed help. Could you please share your affected domain names, and the output from a failed Certbot run?

Thanks,
Jacob

Nope. No.
Because it's the rule from CA/B and CA programs.
CA has 5 days to revoke all certificate in this case.
@moderators Can someone split this to a new topic?

What's your domain name?

What's the exact error message?

Thank you

Thank you for your quick response. I was finally able to renew all the certificates.

For the record, the error message I saw in Certbot was this:

An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

No problem.
It just looks like you’ve failed the challenges too many times and hit the 1 hour limit.
