@akaro, there is an on going service disruption that is causing problems to issue new certs, etc. For more info and updates visit https://letsencrypt.status.io/

@sahsanu correctly identified the root cause here (thanks!) and it should be resolved now.

I’m going to close this issue since the problem is resolved. Thanks!
