Too many certificates already issued

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: webaystore.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d www.webaystore.com -d webaystore.com

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx

Obtaining a new certificate

An unexpected error occurred:

There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: webaystore.com,www.webaystore.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

My web server is (include version): aws ec2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 18.4

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

...and how many times did you do this?

The error message is pretty clear, especially once you look at the page it points you to--you've already created five identical certificates within the past week, and there's simply no good reason for you to have done this. You'll need to wait until a week after the first one was issued to be able to issue another for that set of names. This is why the staging environment is there, so you can do your testing there, and only get certs from the production server once you've worked out all the kinks.

As a workaround, if you can add another name to the cert, it should let you issue it.

Hi @pcissp

there is a check of your domain, 30 minutes old - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=webaystore.com

Two cPanel - Letsencrypt certificates, 5 identical with two domain names.

Where are these? All deleted?

If you create a certificate, then save it. So you can use it the next 60 - 85 days.

If you have a cPanel, you shouldn't use an own client. So where is that cPanel?

They "expire" after one week (and will no longer count against you).
So you will have to wait until such time that there are only four certs seen issued in the past week [not zero certs].

i.e. "Too many certs"
"Many" = OK
"Too many" = NOT OK
LOL
