I do have the dns_ttl=1 in directadmin.conf and it happened already several times for me on that server.
Letsencrypt 1.1.11.

I tried 3 times, every time the same error.

So I did a ./build letsencrypt and tried a 4th time. This time it succeeded.

But this is already the 3rd time I have this issue with this server and I need to do a ./build letsencrypt for things to work again. I always use the "build update" and "build update_versions" command, so this should not be happening.

What is causing this every time? It's starting to get annoying to have to do this and I don't know why building the same version again solves the issue.
