What does this mean to you? Note this is an honest question. Does it mean you're rebuilding your server from scratch and therefore requesting a new key each time for the same domain? Or does it mean something else?
I wonder if anyone has created a simple middle service that can locally cache the certs so you talk to the cache server?
When I was first testing out my automation I was using real keys instead of the staging server, so every time I tested I was eating up a cert.
In the end though, I have more than 7 certs for my main domain--With a bunch of services built up over the years, I have roughly 14 or 15 certs (so it took me 3 weeks to get all my certs created). Subdomains count against your domain limit, so "mail.example.com", "blog.example.com", and "www.example.com" count as 3 certs for "example.com".
Are you 100% sure subdomains count against your limit? I just asked that question on letsencrypt recently and was told there is no limit to subdomains.
The issue is when you try to set up the client. Oops, typo in something, let’s try again. Oops, forgot to set permissions. Again. Oops, forgot a domain. Oops, forgot to sudo it this time. Oops, limit run out.
