My domain is: discourse.kwehchocobo.com
I ran this command:
First command provides short result, second command provides a detailed result, which I provide in a pastebin link due to its length.
First command input
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d discourse.kwehchocobo.com
Second command input
root@chocobo-kweh:/etc/letsencrypt# sudo cat /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
It produced this output:
First command output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Requesting a certificate for discourse.kwehchocobo.com
An unexpected error occurred:

Second command output:
This is a long output, therefore I put it on pastebin (this is for the second input).
My web server is (include version): I believe is nginx 1.26.2
I say this, as I am attempting to re-install the docker based Discourse installation. I've done this numerous times (and wasn't aware of staging for testing...), and I have been rate limited. The docker based Discourse version I believe is nginx 1.26.2
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 24.10 x64
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: I am using a droplet via digital ocean ; my domain provider is cloudflare.
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.
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
certbot 2.9.0
Question: When will my rate limit be lifted? For record, I'm in the pacific time zone of the US.
I'd like to know so I can reinstall discourse at the subdomain I provided, discourse.kwehchocobo.com. ; (SSL Let'sEncrypt is part of the installer).
If the SSL certificate isn't provided, I see if I run ./discourse-doctor that no discourse version is found, which I assume is due to the lack of SSL certificate during install since i rate limited myself.
