Sophos Firewall 21 daily letsencrypt request error

Apparently since the last firmware update my Sophos Home Firewall has been renewing my LetsEncrypt certificates daily, which has caused an error on LetsEncrypts end since I am basically flooding their service. This has resulted in all of the letsencrypt certs not being renewed and I have had to disable the function in order to let the clock reset. 

Has anyone else had this bug?

  • SFOS should only try it once per day (not multiple times). We have some improvements to change the timer of this action to be on a different time of the day to spread the renewal process. 
    But basically i would rather recommend to check the reason for the first fail in the logs. 

    If you used the EAP to generate the LE - Please delete the certificate and create a new one.

  • Well, as far as I can tell it has been renewing the certificate daily which doesn't seem neccessary since they are valid for a couple of months. 

    Concerning the logs: PLEASE for the love of god point me in the right direction. I just migrated over from the UTM 9 and am still working things out with this FW and haven't been able to find any LE log files.
