Rate Limits – Let’s Encrypt – Free SSL\/TLS Certificates<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last updated: August 1, 2018 | See all Documentation\nLet\u2019s Encrypt provides rate limits to ensure fair usage by as many people as possible. We believe these rate limits are high enough to work for most people by default. We\u2019ve also designed them so…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Encrypt can issue more certificates without revalidating for a certain amount of time (currently 30 days, but this is not guaranteed). (Even if Certbot looks like it\u2019s validating again.) It\u2019s not easy bypass that within Certbot, so forcing an extremely early renewal may not actually test validating again, but it will exercise the other parts.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can i cancel\/ permanently delete the certificate with lets encrypt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How much do you want to delete it? For what purpose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ccertbot delete<\/code>\u201d command can delete your local certificate files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ccertbot revoke<\/code>\u201d command can also revoke the certificate, which you need to do if it has been compromised or the domain is no longer yours, but you normally don\u2019t need to do if you just want to stop using it. (Revoking a certificate will also stop Let\u2019s Encrypt from sending you emails when it\u2019s about to expire, but you can just ignore them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t erase all evidence the certificate existed \u2013 they\u2019re permanently archived in public Certificate Transparency logs, which can be searched on https:\/\/crt.sh\/ 1<\/a> and other websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And deleting or revoking certificates doesn\u2019t affect Let\u2019s Encrypt\u2019s rate limits.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
