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: cheshiremothcharts.com
I ran this command: ./certbot-auto --debug -v --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory certonly -d cheshiremothcharts.com
It produced this output: Error: urn:acme:error:rateLimited :: Error: urn:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for: cheshiremothcharts.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
My web server is (include version): Apache/2.2.34 (Unix)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Amazon
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): No
This is the first time I’ve requested a certificate for this domain. The only previous Let’s Encrypt certificate request I’ve made is for another domain hosted on the same server (consonant.co.uk), which was successful.
https://crt.sh/ indicates there are no existing certificates for this domain.
I’ve looked for similar topics but haven’t found one addressing this issue.
Thanks!
Paul
