Plex Cert Expired - Plex Clients (Shield, Sony Android TV App, etc) Cannot Connect

Hi im also having issues with remote access, any chance you can reset my cert plz?

[mod edit: Done. Please stop and restart your Plex server.]

Edit - Thank you!!!

Hey, I think I’m seeing the same thing. Expired cert and 429s when it tries to renew, I’ve left the server stopped for a couple hours as well.

[mode edit: yes, you were affected. Please stop and restart your server.]

It seems like I have a similar issue, error acquiring cert, failed to upload CSR, and 429s. I turned the server off overnight and the issue persisted this morning.

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Same here unfortunately. CERT: Error acquiring new certificate: Failed to upload CSR: 429. Thanks in advance for your help!

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Edit: Thanks for your help, that got it!

Same issue. No server changes. Version 1.43.2.10687.

Seems like I’ve also been hit with the expired certificate. Getting CSR :429 in PMS logs. If a mod could also fix it for me, my parents would love you very much :slight_smile:
Much appreciated

Looks like my cert is also stuck\hung after troubleshooting a GPU passthrough on my lxc container, could I get mine reset please?

[mod edit: You’ve had 5 new certs delivered to you in short succession. Now you are rate-limited. Shut down your server for at least 12 hours, then start it back up. Don’t clear out the whole /Cache folder within your plex data folder when experimenting.]

I’m also hitting this issue as of yesterday. I’ve tried logging out/reclaiming my server, and restarting, and the plex direct cert is still expired. Can I get some mod help?

[mod edit: Done. Wait a bit, then stop and restart your server.]

I believe I’m also experiencing this issue after restarting - can I also get some assitance?

[mod edit: Done. Wait a bit, then stop and restart your server.]

I am hitting this same issue as far as I can tell. Can you reset my certification? Thanks so much!

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Exact the same thing happened to me, could you please help me with my certificate?
Thank you very much!

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Hi, I think this has recently started to happen for me as well. Can you reset mine as well? Thanks.

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Hello, would you mind reseting my certificate as well? Thank you!

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

Seeing error 429, I believe I am having the same issue as above.

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server.]

I’ve spent a few days trying to solve this but if it is an expired cert that would be great for some mod help. Tried a server backup/reinstall/restore but the same behavior. Much appreciated to whomever can kick my cert a refresh.

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server now.]

Hello, I started seeing the same issue on my server as well recently. It started happening a couple of days ago. Could I please have my certificate reset as well?

Also this seems to be a widespread issue, any plans on a fix?

[mod edit: your server’s certificate is perfectly valid.]

Apologies. I seem to have gotten a fail to get certificate in my logs, but the actual issue was port forwarding no longer working out of the blue. All ok now.

I am hitting this same issue as far as I can tell. Can you reset my certification? Thanks so much!

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server now.]

Can I please get a reset on my server’s certificate? Already tried shutting down the server for 30 minutes, still getting 429s.

It sounds like there’s a new cert that got issued previously but the server never received the new cert or something (Plex API call got interrupted?), so Let’s Encrypt is unable to re-issue the cert.

[mod edit: Please stop and restart your server now.]

can i get a reset too?,
