Too many certificates already issued for ovh.net

Solution:

If you have a domain like vpsxxxxx.ovh.net and you get the error: “There were too many requests of a given type :: Error finalizing order :: too many certificates already issued for: ovh.net: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/” you can get the SSL certificate using the reverse record.

For example, you get the IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd for the vpsxxxxx.ovh.net domain, also you get a reverse record, like: ddd.ip-aaa-bbb-ccc.eu (you can find it in the OVH control panel “Manage IPs”).

You can use the reverse record (domain) “ddd.ip-aaa-bbb-ccc.eu” for the SSL.

ovh.netisn’t on the Public Suffix List, so you’re unlikely to be able to dependably issue certificates under that domain.

Consider using your own (non-shared) Registered Domain, as it’s the only real solution to this issue. I don’t think OVH would agree to having their domain listed on the PSL, nor the maintainers of the PSL would agree to list them.

Or maybe you can also use a free Dynamic DNS service name from the PSL.
