Too Many Request Error

[esanikulaine]

I tried too many times to get certificate for my domain, because I got errors. How could I clear that history?

My domain is: local.rauma.net

I ran this command: POST https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-order (I don't know exact command because it's CloudPanel)

It produced this output:

429 Too Many Requests response: { "type": "urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited", "detail": "too many certificates (5) already issued for this exa (truncated...)

My web server is (include version): nginx/1.30.3

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 13.5

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: self hosted

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): CloudPanel v2.5.3

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): came with CloudPanel, can't get version

@esanikulaine, welcome to the community!

There is a rate-limit of the certificates for the same set of domain names:

Rate Limits

You have to wait a bit, then it is possible to issue a new one. However, until you fix the error you are encountering, better to issue test certificates:

Staging Environment

You cannot clear that history yourself. For this specific limit, the practical options are to reuse the already issued certificate if CloudPanel stored it somewhere, or wait until enough of the 7-day window has passed. Before trying production again, switch CloudPanel/ACME to the staging endpoint if it has that option, otherwise every failed repeat can spend the same real limit again.
