Would it be possible to know how long the rate limit would apply?

Sometimes if people tamper with the files in /etc/letsencrypt/live, Certbot can get confused and not successfully save the results of a renewal. It should never be possible to exceed Let's Encrypt limits with certbot renew on an intact /etc/letsencrypt, but unfortunately it could be possible in some circumstances with a damaged or corrupted one.
