You might have run into the certificates per domain limit - did you previously issue any certificates for any domain you’re requesting a certificate now? The limit is 5 certificates per domain in 7 days, based on TLD+1 (i.e. example.com, www.example.com, foobar.example.com all increase the counter for example.com)
