SSL CertOrder rate limit; need manual override

Support
1

Site name: new-grow-sf.netlify.app

Issue: Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS is failing: “SSL Provisioning is temporarily disabled because too many recent CertOrder creation with the site.”

Cause: GoDaddy configuration got messed up, after I fixed it netlify attempted to renew the cert but hit a Let’s Encrypt rate limit.

Attempted resolutions: I fixed the GoDaddy configuration and clicked “retry” in netlify, but it failed again because the nameserver changes hadn’t propagated yet. I then removed the incorrect domain from my list of custom domains, but that’s when netlify hit the Let’s Encrypt rate limit. Now I’m stuck :frowning:

I have tried removing all domains and adding back only my primary domain. Still hit with the rate limit

3

This rate limit is imposed by Let’s Encrypt after too many retries, you’ll need to wait for that limit to run its course before you can try provisioning another certificate.

4

Is there any way to know when the limit will relax? I don’t know when to retry, and I’m worried that retrying too soon will reset my waiting period.

5

I just tried again, and looks like the limit reset. If I could make a small feature request: please surface the retry-after response from Let’s Encrypt in the netlify UI.

Cheers!

I’m glad to hear this was resolved, thanks for the feedback!
