Custom domain stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for 12+ hours — please nudge cert issuance

Hi team,

I’ve had a custom domain stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP since ~8 PM CT yesterday (May 18 / now May 19, 10 AM CT — about 14 hours). I’ve tried delete/recreate cycles to retrigger validation; no change.

Project: business in a box (af55d2b6-021a-49b2-9a1a-5d7829f45a4c)

Service: bellah-audio (2f69ac9d-1336-4d22-8ca1-51bdfabc3a63)

Environment: production (f5b6a278-151d-40d1-a2f7-255c5d1d4a13)

Domains: bellahaudio.com, www.bellahaudio.com

Context: this domain was previously claimed by another Railway customer (Townsquare Interactive) hosting the prior version of the site. That claim was released yesterday. After release I added these as new custom domains on my service.

Diagnostic: www.bellahaudio.com’s CNAME is correctly visible to your system — currentValue: 1s1g8hmi.up.railway.app exactly equals requiredValue: 1s1g8hmi.up.railway.app — but the certificate never provisions. Suggests a stuck verification job from the previous claim release.

Could you manually trigger cert issuance or clear any pending state from the prior claim?

Thanks,

Kallisti Upton

add a TXT record at _railway-verify.bellahaudio.com. the value is in the verificationToken field under status — visible in the Networking → Custom Domains panel of the dashboard, or via the API.


You need to add a TXT record at _railway-verify.www.bellahaudio.com. Railway uses TXT records to verify domain ownership.

If you are using the API to add your custom domain, you can find it in verificationToken under status
