Hi @hubceo,

First of all, you need to know what is going on with your renew process because it is not normal to reach this limit.

Anyway, you could try to invalidate pending authzs using a tool created by @ahaw021 https://github.com/ahaw021/LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ/

Usage:

cd /var/log/letsencrypt/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahaw021/LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ/master/LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ.py

Edit python script LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ.py and modify these 2 variables:

Before:

PATH = r""
KEY_FOLDER = r""

After (you need to use the right path to your account on key_folder variable):

PATH = r"/var/log/letsencrypt"
KEY_FOLDER = r"/etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Save the file and execute it:

python LE_FIND_PENDING_AUTHZ.py

the script should invalidate the pending authzs (you should see something like this):

Reviewing Auth: 9lzHojU6yyT2vEzYuI0wnha1A3UR8eKObjiQJQdvkk0
         Status:pending Domain: yourdomain.tld  Expires: 2017-10-16T20:34:12Z
Invalidating :9lzHojU6yyT2vEzYuI0wnha1A3UR8eKObjiQJQdvkk0

and if you run the script again, the previous pending authz should be invalid now:

Reviewing Auth: 9lzHojU6yyT2vEzYuI0wnha1A3UR8eKObjiQJQdvkk0
         Status:invalid Domain: yourdomain.tld  Expires: 2017-10-16T20:34:12Z

If you have invalidated the pending authzs you should try to renew your certs again.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
sahsanu
