There is not enough information given to diagnose why your validations are not succeeding and making you hit the rate limit.

Please provide the contents of certbot’s log file (typically located at /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log) and the domain you are trying to verify.

With the information given all I can tell you to do is wait an hour and try again. :wink:
