Let's Encrypt error, SSL certificates

Support
1

Site name: foodimetric.netlify.app
Custom domain: foodimetric.com
DNS provider: Cloudflare (proxy is OFF — DNS-only mode, pointing directly to Netlify)

Issue:
SSL provisioning is stuck with the following error in Domain management > HTTPS:

“SSL Provisioning is temporarily disabled because CertAuthorization is reaching to pending limit.”

The Renew certificate button is not visible in the panel.

Certificate expiry: June 19, 2026

What I’ve confirmed:

  • Cloudflare proxy is disabled (grey cloud / DNS-only)
  • DNS A record is pointing correctly to Netlify
  • No recent DNS changes that would explain the failed authorizations

Request:
Could someone from the team please manually clear/flush the stuck pending CertAuthorizations for foodimetric.com so SSL provisioning can be re-triggered? Happy to provide any additional details needed.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,
I posted this issue a few days ago and didn’t get a response, so I went ahead and figured it out myself.

The fix: I bypass Netlify’s broken auto-renewal entirely by generating a free Cloudflare Origin Certificate and uploading it manually to Netlify. It takes about 10 minutes and works.

I wrote up a full step-by-step guide for anyone else hitting this:

Hope it helps someone.
