how to avoid rate limits when testing to integrate new service provider?

Hi there,

I am attempting to integrate a new DNS service provider but I want to avoid busting the rate limit when I am doing tests.

How do I do that?

If you add --staging to the acme.sh command, it'll connect to the LE Staging server, which has a MUCH higher rate limit. I'm doing exactly the same thing, and I probably hit it 100 time in the last 3 or 4 hours. The cert won't be trusted by anything, so once you get your testing completed you'll definitely want to remove --staging.
