I encountered this while trying to issue a new certificate for a service. As a temporary fix, started using ZeroSSL which conveniently also supports the ACME protocol. While not a big problem, if you have something like `cert-manager` being used on Kubernetes, then it requires quite a bit of reconfiguration, and you may spend a couple hours trying to figure out why a certificate hasn't been issued yet.

That said, I'm unbelievably grateful for the great product (and work!) LetsEncrypt has provided for free. Hope they're able to get their infrastructure back up soon.

Let's Encrypt was a huge deal right from the beginning. They truly moved the web forward.

Truly was a radical advancement. Makes me wonder, a decade from now what will it be that we look back upon with a similar perspective?
