There where to many requests

Help

I ran this command: certbot certonly XXX

It produced this output:
An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for: XX.io: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

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

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

Basically I don`t have any problems, I mess up little bit with code in cert requests went in loop, so I reached a limit, when I noticed this I fixed the issue, and now it works fine with --staging flag but when request for production fall on limits, is there a way how to drop limits and proceed with new certificate today? as now code works fine.

No, there isn't.

The one workaround available to you is to add another domain/subdomain to the certificate (even if you don't need it), which will cause it to be counted against a different rate limit bucket.

Is there a way to see my actual limits reach and when that domain will be unlocked?

Not with any great accuracy. Certificate Transparency logs are the primary way, but they are often quite delayed.

https://tools.letsdebug.net/cert-search will report on rate limits, however certificates may be missing for a day or two sometimes.

You can also look up your certificates on https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates which may be a bit more up-to-date , and count exactly 7 days after the earliest duplicate certificate from within the last 7 days.
