Custom domain stuck on VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for several days

Hi, my custom domain  is stuck on:

"Validating domain ownership" for several days.

The Railway-generated domain for the same service works correctly and serves the application normally.

railway domain status  shows:

  • Verified: yes
  • Sync status: ACTIVE
  • Target port: 8080
  • Certificate status: VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP

I have already verified the DNS configuration:

  • _ TXT resolves publicly with the correct Railway verification token
  • CNAME points to the Railway target
  • Cloudflare is the authoritative DNS provider
  • No CAA records are present
  • No DS/DNSSEC record is present
  • Cloudflare SSL/TLS mode is set to Full
  • The Cloudflare proxy has been tested both enabled and DNS-only
  • Railway previously detected the Cloudflare proxy correctly

The custom domain itself still does not work, while the *.up.railway.app domain works.

railway domain certificate retry  cannot be used because the certificate is still in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP, not a failed state.

Could you please check whether the certificate validation workflow is stuck and manually re-trigger/requeue certificate issuance for ?

Please also check the custom-domain edge binding/routing for this domain in case the certificate job is not advancing correctly.

Your DNS is correctly configured and domain ownership is verified, but the certificate issuance workflow stalled after verification completed. We have started a certificate re-issuance for your custom domain, which should complete within a few minutes.
