However I guess we didn't reach the 50 subdomain per week limit, It keeps showing error "too many certificates already issued for multiple names ([cloudinn.net](http://cloudinn.net) and 2 others)". What is this about ? My domain is: > **[CloudInn](https://cloudinn.net)** > > Cloud-Based, Fully Integrated Total Hotel Solution [kwentra.com](http://kwentra.com) \*.cloudinn.net \*.kwentra.com I ran this command: cert-manager deployment Logs: I0928 11:12:44.067516 1 controller.go:129] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="syncing item" "key"="maienv3/xxxx" I0928 11:12:44.067799 1 sync.go:97] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="creating Order with ACME server as one does not currently exist" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" I0928 11:12:44.067833 1 sync.go:384] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="order URL not set, submitting Order to ACME server" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" I0928 11:12:44.067866 1 sync.go:390] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="build set of domains for Order" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" "domains"=["[maienv3.cloudinn.net](http://maienv3.cloudinn.net)","[maienv3.kwentra.com](http://maienv3.kwentra.com)"] E0928 11:12:46.161664 1 controller.go:131] cert-manager/controller/orders "msg"="re-queuing item due to error processing" "error"="error creating new order: acme: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for multiple names ([cloudinn.net](http://cloudinn.net) and 2 others): see [Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)" "key"="maienv3/xxxx" I0928 11:42:46.162011 1 controller.go:129] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="syncing item" "key"="maienv3/xxxx" I0928 11:42:46.162304 1 sync.go:97] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="creating Order with ACME server as one does not currently exist" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" I0928 11:42:46.162341 1 sync.go:384] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="order URL not set, submitting Order to ACME server" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" I0928 11:42:46.162374 1 sync.go:390] cert-manager/controller/orders "level"=0 "msg"="build set of domains for Order" "resource\_kind"="Order" "resource\_name"="xxxx" "resource\_namespace"="maienv3" "domains"=["[maienv3.cloudinn.net](http://maienv3.cloudinn.net)","[maienv3.kwentra.com](http://maienv3.kwentra.com)"] E0928 11:42:48.338901 1 controller.go:131] cert-manager/controller/orders "msg"="re-queuing item due to error processing" "error"="error creating new order: acme: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for multiple names ([cloudinn.net](http://cloudinn.net) and 2 others): see [Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)" "key"="maienv3/xxxxx" Thanks, ---

Hi @nahmed, welcome to the LE community forum 🙂 It seems your domain may have exceeded the 50/week. See: [crt.sh | cloudinn.net](https://crt.sh/?Identity=cloudinn.net&deduplicate=Y) > **[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.
