I've been rate limited by ACME and now my sites are all down. How could this happen?!

I have the exact same issue for the second week in a row now.

Traefik Let's Encrypt ratelimit

Could somebody please be so kind to explain to me how this works because I've locked all my domains out again for the second week in a row. Why will it for every docker-compose restart try to fetch new certificates although the acme.json is unchanged and in a (persistent) directory on the host? Why will it also demolish all already running sites when it cannot renew because of this rate limit?

Every time the containers restarts (I'm testing a lot of TLS unrelated stuff) it renews the certificates apparently. I thought keeping the acme.json outside the container prevents this but it doesn't. Hope somebody can explain this properly to us.
