As a quick fix for “too many certificate”, we grabbed the latest certificate from here, https://check-your-website.server-daten.de and then matched the certificate with correct key located at /etc/letsencrypt/ keys and updated the .conf file accordingly. It seemed to work for us. Hope it helps for any one looking to get their site running ASAP.

Oh, that works? I've checked some domains, normally, the leaf certificate is downloaded, if Certspotter has only the pre-certificate.
But I didn't found such download links (checked a few hours earlier).
May work since Letsencrypt works again.
Good to know - thanks!

Now tested. The domain ronanarraes.com - listet there - @Ronis_BR
With
The server experienced an internal error :: Error finalizing order
The old check (17:00, Berlin, +01):
Only Precerts, 13 created today, so the 5 identical certificates limit didn't block.
Now rechecked the domain (21:37):
Now the leaf certificates are available.
To use: Find the private key with the same time (may be one hour wrong), download the leaf certificate -> install it manual.

We’ve now applied the fix for rate limit issues. Anyone affected by rate limits should try again now.

I was able to renew my cert. I would like to thank you and your team for the communication. Not going to lie i felt sick when the rate limit became an issue. All of my services are up and running!!
