Size of certificate response is smaller than 500 characters, it means something went wrong. Printing response...

<br>

In the past i could renew it by hand in the command line but now i get the same error there to.

Does someone know how i can fix this ?
 
debug

I did some debug and what i receive was an base64 json string
{
"type": "urn:acme:error:rateLimited",
"detail": "Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: hostname.com",
"status": 429
}

I dont understand how this is happening lets encrypt certificate renew is done by directadmin
 
Problems with LE first-ever registration

I have been using LE since the start and with DA for a year or so without any problems. Today I successfully transferred a shop to us from the previous registrar, a .com one. The very first time I started to get a certificate for it I stumbled to this problem:

Code:
...
openssl genrsa 4096 > "/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/rajanase/domains/rajanase.com.key.new"
Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus

Error creating new cert :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: rajanase.com,www.rajanase.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
This was the first time I tried to get a certificate for that domain and I seem to be out of limits already. Anybody else seen this? I did generate the certificate for the .fi domain (only once, and it is a different domain).

If the error message is telling the truth then the previous registrar must have used up the limit during the past week. Any other explanations?
