Site name: spectacular-rugelach-05abe9.netlify.app  
Custom domain: [yessbevco.com](http://yessbevco.com)  
DNS is on Netlify DNS already, confirmed via green checkmarks in Domain management  
Error: SniCertificate::CertificateValidationError, NXDOMAIN on TXT lookup for \_acme-challenge.yessbevco.com  
Also hit Acme::Client::Error::RateLimited on the wildcard after repeated failures  
Ask them to check why the wildcard challenge is failing despite DNS being on Netlify, and to remove the wildcard requirement if it can’t be resolved, reissuing a standard cert for [yessbevco.com](http://yessbevco.com) and [www.yessbevco.com](http://www.yessbevco.com)
