Hi Netlify Support team,
Following up on this thread — I’ve already removed the stale Netlify DNS Zone as suggested, but the underlying issue remains.
My certificate renewal is failing because it’s trying to issue a wildcard certificate (*.someamethod.com) via DNS-01, but I am using external DNS (Cloudflare):
SniCertificate::CertificateValidationError: Unable to verify challenge for *.someamethod.com: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.someamethod.com
- Site name: someamethod.netlify.app
- Custom domain: someamethod.com / www.someamethod.com
- Certificate expiry: Aug 26, 2026 (today) — this is time-sensitive.
- I have already removed the stale Netlify DNS Zone.
Could an engineer please manually remove the wildcard requirement on the backend and issue a standard Let’s Encrypt certificate covering only:
Thank you!
