SSL automatic renewals appear to be on the fritz again for Let's Encrypt

This previously happened in June of 2025 (see the previous thread) and it got resolved. Currently, the certificate expired Apr 30 05:17:03 2026 GMT and I tried a manual trigger with wildcard earlier today in the AM and since it is now in the PM (roughly 10 hours later) and still no renewed certificate, I am requesting that staff take a look to see what may have gone astray, thanks!

Please try again, and leave wildcard box unchecked. Please also do not use the manual trigger feature, just use the process under get automatic certificate from ACME provider.

IIRC, get automatic certificate from ACME provider just results in a message regarding the weekly limit of 200, which was tried in June of 2025 to no avail due to weekly limit.

Anyway, I just tried your recommendation and, yep, it just nets the weekly limit error message. However, currently, there is a retry attempt every 5 minutes. I'll check for a renewed certificate tomorrow morning.

@mrburnsx - there is still no renewed certificate. Maybe, something has gone astray with the automatic renewals and staff should, when time permits, take a look at the situation.

It is the rate limit, no one can bypass that for you. Unfortunately, all that can be done is either wait for rate limit to reset or try changing ACME Provider setting to ZeroSSL or using a program like win-acme to assist. The rate limit is imposed by the ACME Provider themselves.
