Hi everyone, I have set up a custom domain on Railway Hobby plan but SSL certificate is not being issued. Current status: 
CNAME: app → ikevd4um.up.railway.app (verified on dnschecker.org) 
TXT: _railway-verify.app → verified worldwide on dnschecker.org but Railway still shows warning Steps already tried: - Deleted and re-added custom domain - Clicked 
lightning bolt multiple times - Waited 24+ hours - DNS managed by Bluehost Has anyone faced this issue? How did you resolve it?
Thank you!

(The lightning bolt is for CDN caching)
Are you able to access the site from your browser?

I had the issue of TXT record showing a warning sign next to it. I solved it by disabling proxied and making it DNS only in cloudflare. Check your DNS records in Bluehost, and see if it has the proxied option.

You can't proxy TXT records in Cloudflare...

I didn't say that! I was referring to the custom domain setup when I said "it". But it could be misunderstood, I guess.

Great — someone responded!
Answer them:
Yes, the site is accessible via the Railway URL
(web-production-fbca5.up.railway.app) but not via
the custom domain. Getting SSL error when accessing
the custom domain.

Checked Bluehost DNS records — there is no proxy
option available. DNS is managed directly by Bluehost,
not Cloudflare. Any other suggestions?

Try accessing from an incognito window. Your browser may be caching stale data.
I'm able to access your site just fine.

The custom domain is app.liluboutique.com
Getting SSL error when accessing it directly.

The content of your TXT record is malformed. Try removing the TXT record, copy what Railway provided, and add it back again.

Done! Removed and re-added the TXT record with the
exact value from Railway.
Two questions:
1. Should I enable CDN caching for the custom domain?
2. How long should I wait for the TXT to turn green
after re-adding the record?
Thank you for your help!
