Your account is temporarily prevented from requesting certificates for YOUR_DOMAIN and possibly others. Please visit: https://portal.letsencrypt.org/sfe/v1/unpause?jwt=YOUR_DOMAIN_ID. Open that link on the browser and unpause your account after fixing your back-end.docker compose logs command.For announcements of upcoming changes, please subscribe to the Technical Updates mailing list or see the API Announcements category on the Let’s Encrypt community forum. Upcoming Features Short-lived Certificates Around the end of 2025, we intend to allow any client which supports ACME Profiles (see below) to request a “shortlived” certificate. These certificates are valid for such a short time that they do not need to have revocation information embedded in them at all.

Sorry, should have posted an announcement before taking the server down for longer than planned.
However!
