Too many certificates error

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.

ansible playbook was looking in wrong folder for existing cert, so created new one. Sorry

Hi @ruflem,

Welcome to the community forum!

According to https://crt.sh/?q=www.gramsformers.com you have issued several duplicate (pre)certificates.

Please review the rate limit documentation at https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/.

Renewals are treated specially: they don’t count against your Certificates per Registered Domain limit, but they are subject to a Duplicate Certificate limit of 5 per week.

Based on that specific rate limit, the next date you'll be able to attempt issuance for those exact domains is August 22nd.

I recommend utilizing the staging environment while testing a new deployment. Staging Environment - Let's Encrypt
