Problem with certificate gamesyap.com

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. 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: gamesyap.com

I ran this command:
root@ubuntu:/etc/letsencrypt/live# certbot-auto certonly -d gamesyap.com
It produced this output:

Hi @techcomputerworld

you have 5 identical certificates created (Google lists 5 pre and 5 leaf certificates):

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=p:Z2FtZXN5YXAuY29tOmZhbHNlOmZhbHNlOjpFQUU9&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:gamesyap.com&lu=cert_search_cert

So you hit the limit.

Why don't you use one of these?

Hi, thanks for your response, I have deleted the certificates with order rm -rf directory, I’ve used certbot delete --cert-name mail.gamesyap.com and gamesyap.com, but the certiicate mail.gamesyap.co, don’t run, I want to use the mail server postfix and dovecot and the certificate gamesyap.com does not work for me it gives me the error that and it does not let me create it, delete by error.

Then you have to wait one week.

Never, never, never delete active and valide certificates.

the certificate mail.gamesyap.com don’t run, I’ve created the certificate.
certbot-auto certonly -d mail.gamesyap.com
the certificate gamesyap.com I can ask the people of let’s encrypt to invalidate the certificate that I deleted it by mistake

This doesn't change something. Please read

Revoking certificates does not reset rate limits, because the resources used to issue those certificates have already been consumed.

Yes, it's possible. You have three:
