Too many certificates already issued for each set of domains

Help
1

good afternoon. I deleted the directory with the certificates.And now when i create a certificate gives an error “An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for each set of domains: 140300.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/”
. What to do? Thanks

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/etc/letsencrypt/live/140300.com/cert1.pem’

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @switch

please read the link.

You have created too much certificates - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=140300.com#ct-logs

Issuer not before not after Domain names LE-Duplicate next LE
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-05 2019-11-03 140300.com - 1 entries duplicate nr. 5 next Letsencrypt certificate: 2019-08-12 20:11:58
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-05 2019-11-03 140300.com - 1 entries duplicate nr. 4
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-05 2019-11-03 140300.com - 1 entries duplicate nr. 3
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-05 2019-11-03 140300.com - 1 entries duplicate nr. 2
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-05 2019-11-03 140300.com - 1 entries duplicate nr. 1

Five identical certificates.

Why did you delete that folder?

Now you have to wait - next Letsencrypt certificate: 2019-08-12 20:11:58.

PS: Never delete active certificates, if the private key isn't stolen. That's always wrong.

That isn't a file normally used by Certbot. /etc/letsencrypt/live/140300.com/cert.pem is; /etc/letsencrypt/archive/140300.com/cert1.pem is; /etc/letsencrypt/live/140300.com/cert1.pem is not.

How much has been deleted or modified?

Can you post the output of "sudo ls -alR /etc/letsencrypt/"?

I’ve been waiting over 24 hours and there’s been a mistake.the directory was deleted accidentally.

Do you still have your private key?
Your all ready created certificate is public and can be downloaded: https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/queries/q_get_certificatefile/certfile-certspotter-1056698894.pem?certspotter_id=1056698894

Was there anything before /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.140300.com-0001?
