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. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help. I only issued 14 certificates and the limit is 50 per week, I am unable to issue any other certificate, the issue was that I was testing magento and when error occur I remove the instance and reinstall all things this way I ordered certificates, now I am blocked and waited already more then 36 hour’s but no luck. Certificates I issued: [https://crt.sh/?q=3clef.com](https://crt.sh/?q=3clef.com) My domain is:3clef.com I ran this command:sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool It produced this output: An error occurred creating certificates with Let’s Encrypt: acme: error: 429 :: POST :: [https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-order](https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-order) :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: [3clef.com](http://3clef.com),[www.3clef.com](http://www.3clef.com): see [https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/), url: My web server is (include version): bitnami magento over aws The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): debian My hosting provider, if applicable, is:AWS 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, only SSH The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you’re using Certbot): I am using bitnami letsencrypt auto SSL tool. ---

Hi @heart2hack > [@heart2hack](#): > > I only issued 14 certificates and the limit is 50 per week please read that document > **[Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)** > > Let’s Encrypt provides rate limits to ensure fair usage by as many people as possible. We believe these rate limits are high enough to work for most people by default. We’ve also designed them so renewing a certificate almost never hits a... complete, not only one part. And: You have created certificates, so you have all you need. So the limit is required. Please use one of these certificates 60 - 85 days, **then** create the next. ---

As I had deleted all the instances inside amazon (servers) now I don’t have any key’s of the certificate to use, when will the limit end? I issued 14 certificates but I deleted all the instances on wihch I ordered the certificates, so what’s the next step to use the certificate for the new server. this is client project and he is waiting for me, to complete the site, but i am waiting for SSL to be installed on this server and it show me limit exceed. ---

> [@heart2hack](#): > > (…) so what’s the next step to use the certificate for the new server. Use one of your backups you've naturally made before you deleted the instances. But I'm guessing you don't have any. > [@heart2hack](#): > > this is client project and he is waiting for me (…) You might want to explain your client you didn't read the [Let's Encrypt documentation](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/), as @JuergenAuer already pointed out. There, you would have read about the [staging environment](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/) you _should_ have used for testing purposes and about the [all the different kind of rate limits](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/) (there are more than the 50 certs per domain per week limit). And read the error carefully and see why it's not the 50 limit you're hitting. ---
