Domain stays on validating domain ownership

Hi Railway support,

I'm experiencing an issue with custom domain verification that I haven't been able to resolve on my own.

I recently replaced my old custom domain with a new one on my Railway service. After removing the old domain and adding the new one, I configured the required DNS records in Namecheap.

Current situation:

  • The CNAME record is correctly set and shows a green checkmark in Railway
  • The TXT record (_railway-verify) shows an orange warning triangle in Railway, suggesting it hasn't been verified yet
  • However, I checked both records on dnschecker.org and they are fully propagated worldwide — all locations return green checkmarks for both the CNAME and the TXT record
  • Railway still shows "Validating domain ownership" and has not moved past this stage

What I've already tried:

  • Waiting over 24 hours for DNS propagation
  • Removing and re-adding the custom domain multiple times
  • Verifying both records on dnschecker.org (both are visible globally)

It seems like Railway is not picking up the TXT record on your end, even though it is clearly propagated and visible worldwide. Could you please look into this and manually trigger a re-verification or reset the domain validation on your side?

Thanks in advance!
