Question Limit on serial number - DNS zone changes

Plesk Obsidian Web Pro Edition Version 18.0.66 Update #2

While attempting to process a migration for 75 subdomains from old hosting to new, I am getting this error:
2647655:678ab66c86ef3 ERR [panel] The limit on serial number changes was reached. No more DNS zone changes can be carried out today.

I was processing this through a small bash script to create the subdomains using "plesk bin subdomain --create ...." when I ran into this problem about 2/3's through my processing batch.

I'm just trying to figure out if I need to worry about this and change some setting to get things created or if I can create all the domains today and then run an update on them for the DNS zone changes tomorrow and have it all fixed?

The default serial is built like this yyyymmddxx.

I assume you made 99 changes to the parent domain DNS zone.

The only thing that I did was performed the given command. Once I got through 50 of the subdomain creations, it started to throw that error with each additional creation.

Can I just create all of the other subdomains and run one final update for all of them to have this be correct or should I wait and only do what ones are possible to complete before running into this limit? It makes the migration take a 24 hour wait that way so.. it is kind of a hinderance but, if that is how it has to be, I will deal with it.

Summary:

Ran "Plesk bin subdomain --create mysub1.domain.com" for the first 50~ domains and then started running into this issue.
Need to finish the migration and just need advice on how to proceed and if I will face any issues if I miss any of the ones that had this error upon creation

Thanks in advance.

The limit by default is 98. I am honestly not sure why you would hit it on the ~50 subdomain creation. As a workaround, what I can recommend is to disable "Use the serial number format recommended by IETF and RIPE" in Tools & Settings > DNS Settings > Zone Settings Template. Are you by any chance using Slave DNS Manager?

 

[phixious]

I do not have Primary/Slave DNS setup. I managed to get it all done just by waiting 24 hours and taking care of it that way. It is good to know that I can work around it by modifying the Zone Settings Template though.

Is there a command that I should run after creating them all to re-enable this setting or add it to all of the subdomains that didn't get it if I need to go this route in the future?

Yes, you can do that with:

plesk bin dns --update-soa example.com -soa-serial-format yyyymmddnn
