Lets Encrypt issue incorrect, too many certs

Help
1

Im using inmotion hosting
I have been having problems getting Let Encrypt SSL certificates. The message has been that there has been too many issued, over use of some sort. I have 80 sites in one cpanel. In looking further I found that

  1. the certs are jumbled, multiple names and combination of names on one cert

  2. Let's Encrypt has over 1,300 Certificates issued because of the above

Please see examples below: Doing a search for 'Cert for " "daystarmotors' Shows currently 19 separate SSL certificates.

Here are a couple daystarmotors certs:

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

LE only issues certs that have been requested and have been validated.
The problem you are showing (if that is indeed an actual problem) can only be caused by the ACME client that is making the certificate requests.
So, you need to speak with whomever is in control of that ACME client (or that server) about your concerns.

Thank you, i just tried to add a new site and here is the actual error:

Again:

That error is due to too many requests and too many certs already having been issued.
