Custom domain stuck on "Validating domain ownership" for 2+ hours despite correct DNS

Custom domain www.channelbrief.net on service "tubedigest-landing" (project TUBEDIGEST LANDING) has been stuck on "Validating domain ownership" for over 2 hours.

DNS is confirmed correct via multiple independent resolvers (Google DNS 8.8.8.8, Cloudflare):

  • CNAME www.channelbrief.net -> vb2olxxl.up.railway.app (resolves correctly)
  • TXT _railway-verify.www.channelbrief.net -> correct verify token (matches what Railway provided)
  • No CAA records blocking certificate issuance
  • Domain's nameservers are Cloudflare (rob.ns.cloudflare.com, venus.ns.cloudflare.com), fully propagated

What makes this look like an isolated/stuck job rather than a DNS problem:

  • app.channelbrief.net (same root domain, different service in the same project) verified almost instantly
  • www.tubedigest.pl on this exact same service (tubedigest-landing) also works fine
  • I originally added www.channelbrief.net, it got stuck, so I deleted the custom domain and re-added it (got a new CNAME target vb2olxxl.up.railway.app and it's still stuck the same way)

Could someone check the domain verification queue/job for this specific domain on your end? Happy to provide any additional info (service ID, project ID, screenshots).

It may take up to a few hours (maybe even a day) for Railway to validate the DNS and issue certificates. If one isn't issued by then, try removing the domain from Railway and add it back after ~10-15 mins. Update DNS records as necessary.
