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:  
vidaporluna.com.br

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:

Nginx reverse proxy -\> wordpresss Docker container

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):  
CWP pro (centos web Panel)  
The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.20.0

> **[crt.sh | vidaporluna.com.br](https://crt.sh/?q=vidaporluna.com.br)**
>
> Free CT Log Certificate Search Tool from Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA)

The CWP generated several certificates, now I'm trying to create a certificate and it says it exceeded the limit.  
I really need your help to release only 1 certificate. is very urgent. I was going to launch the site today.  
I'm stuck without getting it, because I don't have the old panel to get the private key to revoke.  
I can't revoke or create.

Please ask for a help.

If you have to pay any release fees, please advise

You have issued [more than 20 certificates](https://crt.sh/?Identity=vidaporluna.com.br&deduplicate=Y) which are still valid that could be used.

Let's Encrypt does not have a way to override this limit. And, revoking a certificate will not help. One of the 5 duplicate certs of your current limit was issued on Dec 1 so you have a couple more days before you can issue another with just that name. See the [Overrides section](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/#a-id-overrides-a-overrides) on the Rate Limit page.

You must find out why you are issuing so many certificates and stop doing that

Try getting a cert from another free and ACME friendly CA.

Thank you for clarifying any questions.  
I don't understand why the CWP pro is doing this.

but your alternative tip gave me a light. I didn't know there were other free ones.

tanks. Att.. Arlindo
