[SOLVED] ACME to Namesilo DNS validation task fails immediately, setpriv exit code 1

[SteveITS]

Task "Order Certificate" fails, with output:

Loading ACME account details
Placing ACME order
Order URL: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/order/310###32/52###376

Getting authorization details from 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/310###32/729###816'
The validation for host.example.net is pending!
[Fri Jul  3 12:06:26 CDT 2026] Unable to add the DNS record.
[Fri Jul  3 12:06:26 CDT 2026] Error add txt for domain:_acme-challenge.host.example.net
TASK ERROR: command 'setpriv --reuid nobody --regid nogroup --clear-groups --reset-env -- /bin/bash /usr/share/proxmox-acme/proxmox-acme setup namesilo host.example.net' failed: exit code 1

The certs successfully ordered in February, successfully renewed on April 29, but the renewal June 28+ is failing each day on all servers.

Notably, a 900s DNS timeout is configured and the task fails immediately in the GUI.

Updated PVE 9.2.2 to 9.2.3, no change.

I tried changing two script _debug lines to _info, same output.

If I run the setpriv command directly, it just waits and does not fail.

I've read several other threads for this error and do not seem to be getting anywhere...help?

Any other logs we can look at...?

I triggered a cert elsewhere, and the log there shows:

response='<?xml version="1.0"?>
<namesilo><request><operation>dnsAddRecord</operation><ip>x.x.x.x</ip></request><reply><code>280</code><detail>Maximum of 100 DNS records per domain has been reached</detail></reply></namesilo>'

So it seems they quietly introduced a limit.
