Reset 7 day limit?

Hi!

I screwed up installing my signed certificates a few times and hit the maximum of 5. I then figured out how to do it correctly (did it right the first time on a different domain). Is there a way to request a reset of the 7 day limit? I’d prefer not to wait because my site is live!

domain: bedtimeforbuzzy.com

Thanks much!

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to reset the rate limits. Since you apparently ran into the “Duplicate Certificate” rate limit of 5 per 7 days, rather than the “Certificates per Registered Domain” limit of 20 per 7 days, there’s a possible workaround: add a subdomain or any other domain to your request, and you’ll have another 15 attempts to get it right. :wink: I would recommend using the staging environment for further testing - with certbot, simply add --staging to any command. Once everything’s configured properly, repeat without --staging and you’re good to go.
