or similar error as follow:

The provider "cPanel (powered by Sectigo)"
cannot currently accept incoming requests. The system will try again later.

cPanel team is actively working on this issue to identify and fix this problem. While they are working to resolve this issue, you can run checkallsslcerts script at another time and it should fix this problem.

Running checkallsslcerts at a different time will succeed, and, optionally, a cronjob can be set up for the root user:

30 10 * * * /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts > /dev/null
