The request exceeds a rate limit) (Error creating new order :: too many certificates (5) already issued for this exact set of domains in the last 168 hours:

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: und.co.il

I ran this command: AutoSSL by lets Encrypt

It produced this output: The request exceeds a rate limit) (Error creating new order :: too many certificates (5) already issued for this exact set of domains in the last 168 hours

My web server is (include version): Cpanel version 110.0.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): centos

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): cpanel/whm

Im currently havin 2 main domains with 300+ subdomains.

I was wondering if there is any way to Raise the Maximum Renewls allowed on letsencrypt Since I dont want to use Sectigo ssl.

Currently Having maximum of 100.

This means you got 5 certs with the identical names in it in the last week. Your web server is not using one of these so it looks like you have some sort of config problem that your web server.

This is not related to above error. You could post this request in the Feature Requests section but I doubt it would get attention any time soon (I also agree with next @Osiris comment). There are many alternatives here are two:

  • Have you considered using a wildcard cert?
  • Instead of one large cert why not use several smaller ones?

In fact, your domain und.co.il has a cert with just the root and the www subdomain. Can't you use a similar idea with the other "main domains" ? You don't have all 300+ subdomain in the same nginx server block do you?

UPDATE:
Looking at your cert history the most names I see in one cert is 23 which is well below the limit of 100. What are you changing to need 300 in one cert?

I don't think Let's Encrypt would consider more than the current 100 SAN entries due to the certificate size.

I don't think Let's Encrypt makes AutoSSL.
But maybe I'm ready that incorrectly.

Well, we using Multiple Wordpress sites over WHM.

We do have all subdomains over same nginx block.

Any Suggestions?

Can you provide example domain affected? I don't think we are talking about the same thing

I'd bet on that too.

Don't sound related.
