Custom domains stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP

Custom domains are stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP even though DNS is fully propagated and matches Railway exactly.

Project: desirable-achievement

Environment: production

Service: okey-premium-prod

Domain 1:

duzokey.com.tr

Domain ID: 203dc7d1-7f83-4b87-9614-b090d5e10172

Domain 2:

www.duzokey.com.tr

Domain ID: dfd82f69-ae74-42c6-9309-4ba4dabb9239

Railway CLI reports for both:

Sync status: ACTIVE

Verified: no

Certificate status: CERTIFICATE_STATUS_TYPE_VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP

The required CNAME and TXT records are publicly resolvable and match Railway exactly.

Authoritative nameservers:

chase.ns.cloudflare.com

itzel.ns.cloudflare.com

Cloudflare proxy is OFF / DNS-only during validation.

Public DNS checks confirm:

  • root TXT is present
  • www TXT is present
  • www CNAME resolves to the Railway target

I also tried:

railway domain certificate retry

but Railway returns:

"Certificate retry is only available after certificate issuance fails. Current status: CERTIFICATE_STATUS_TYPE_VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP."

Could you please manually re-trigger ownership validation / certificate issuance for both domains, or refresh the custom-domain verification workflow without deleting/recreating the domains?

The Railway-provided production domain is healthy.

Your DNS records are in place for both domains, with the verification TXT values matching the expected tokens and HTTP challenge requests reaching our edge. The ownership validation workflow expired before your DNS had propagated, so verification never completed. A certificate re-issuance has been started for both domains and should finish within a few minutes.
