"Too many requests of a given type" after one request?

yes you were hit by rush hour I guess
too many requests of a given type part is prepended by certbot for ratelimited type error, actual errer message sent by LE would be

{
    "type": "urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited",
    "detail": "Service busy; retry later."
}
