Testing and debugging are best done using the **[Staging Environment](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/)** as the **[Rate Limits](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)** are much higher. And to assist with debugging there is a great place to start is [Let's Debug](https://letsdebug.net/). **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](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. My domain is: I ran this command: It produced this output: My web server is (include version): The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): My hosting provider, if applicable, is: I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot): Thank you for assisting us in helping **YOU**! ---

> [@Oluwatobi](#): > > I did, it stated what i did wrong ... but there is no clear duration stated The first sentence in the linked article says (emphasis mine) > All issuance requests are subject to a Failed Validation limit of 5 failures per account, per hostname, **per hour**. As Bruce noted, the Staging system does not have such a strict restriction so please use it or the Let's Debug system he previously linked. These will point out the real problem that is happening so we can debug the cause of these failures. ---
