I made too many certificated by accident, how to fix it?

Hi, i host couple websites with couple domain names on the same server.
I have been using NoIP DUC for Domain Name and then CertBot to get my SSL.

Its working for my other domain, but my most important domain has ruin into a problem where i run out of certificates, i have been only renewing, and i dont think i have done it multiple times, i hope at least i didnt do it while attempting trouble shooting...

console output (i ceonsored the domain names to the first letter, domain name is normally correct and full):

I would like to ask for any ideas how i could get the certificate to work again with the same certificate if i am able to get it, or should i create new one or do you ahve any ideas?

You have definitely been requesting too many certs. Use a site like https://crt.sh to see your history. You are getting a new cert almost every day. Something is wrong with your method. You are probably use --force-renewal when you should not be although there are other possibilities.

You will need to wait until after the time indicated in the error message. Or, try the work-around if you cannot wait. See link here

Please use the staging system when testing. This will avoid production rate limits.

I relocated your thread to the Help section. If you need further help please answer the questions below tht you would have been shown had you posted in Help first.

===============================================

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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

Yes, i see my logs and maybe i was reattempting to get renew the certificate too often.
Here is my info:

My domain is:
nimoweb.ddns.net

I ran this command:
renew

It produced this output:

Hi @nimo, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

The first two certs were renewed 24 days ago.
Did they also use --standalone?
If so, what has changed since then [to prevent HTTP from reaching certbot]?
If not, can you renew nimoweb in that same way?

@rg305 It's a rate limit issue, not an issuance/challenge issue. For some reason the certs aren't being saved.

all 3 certificates were made at roughlt at the same time, and for i believe half a year just renewed every now and then. All created with --standalone, when i attempt to renew all of them, the 2 first ones are awaiting expiration, the nimoweb one displays the issue..
I didnt change anything, all of them are set basically exacly the same way.

What could i do to help you diagnose it more or maybe you have an idea how i could fix it?

Please use the testing environment until things improve.
Try:
certbot renew --dry-run

2 Likes

My prediction is the dry-run will succeed, as it won't store anything to disk. If there is an issue with certificate storage, we must look at other things, like if the directory structure in /etc/letsencrypt/ is sound for the nimoweb.ddns.net certificate.

When attempted it promped this:
Just like @Osiris said, it worked.
I am not sure what to do now, because if i try waiting again, and attempt remaking the certificate in a week, it will again say i overdid it :confused:

Could you guys give me like little step guide how to scrape everythign and set anew, maybe i will wait a week and then attempt again, maybe in the proess i did somethign wrong, i am still learning and honestly i am lost ^^

Or maybe you have a better idea?
I simply want to make it work

Please show:
attrib C:\Certbot\* /S /D
and
dir C:\Certbot\* /s

Next to what Rudy is asking, you might also find some answers in the Certbot logs. But you'd need to dig to the most recent log file without any rate limit error.
