I'm a bit confused by the procedure for getting an updated SSL certificate on my site; the one I have is expired. It looks like I can automatically request one from Let's Encrypt, but every time I try to do so, it says I've hit some rate limit. I'm assuming everyone is using this all at once, so do I just have to keep coming back and trying at different times of day until it works? Or is there some way to be put in a queue? There is the retry section at the bottom of the page, but when I click the button to retry now, it says it was successful, but the certificate isn't updated. I see that I can paste my own certificate in, but if I go go Let's Encrypt to get a certificate, they say I have to do it through my hosting provider; I can't just get one on my own anymore. I'd rather not have to go to another third party where I have to pay for a certificate. Is there anything I can do besides clicking the request button constantly or waiting for the auto retry feature (is that the queue?) to actually do something? Thanks!
