Just some more details.

This affects shymega.org.uk, and rodriguez.org.uk, on varying subdomains. I think it’s rate-limiting, but it’s been like this for a couple of weeks, I think, and it seems stuck.

I’m not on the Business plan, so I can’t open a ticket.

As it turned out, the red ‘Initializing (Error)’ bit shows the next attempt to get a cert. So I think I just need to wait. This can be closed.
