Not able to renew the certificates

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.

My domain is: salesdemo.cyient.io

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --nginx

It produced this output: Attempting to parse the version 1.32.2 renewal configuration file found at /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/salesdemo.cyient.io.conf with version 0.31.0 of Certbot. This might not work.
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx
Renewing an existing certificate
Attempting to renew cert (salesdemo.cyient.io) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/salesdemo.cyient.io.conf produced an unexpected error: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see Failed Validation Limit - Let's Encrypt. Skipping.

My web server is (include version): Nginx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Linux/Unix

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): yes

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): certbot 0.31.0

Hi @Asher-Asquare, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

This is strange:

Do you have (or had) multiple versions of certbot installed?
Did you copy the /etc/letsencrypt/ folder from some other system?

What shows?:
certbot certificates
cat /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
