Issue: HTTPS certificate is not being issued for the custom domain. The TXT validation record is displaying a yellow warning triangle (⚠️) for over 72 hours, indicating that Railway cannot validate the domain despite the DNS record being present.

Verification completed:

  • CNAME record: correctly pointing to Railway-provided value ✓
  • TXT validation record: PRESENT in DNS but showing yellow warning ⚠️
  • DNS propagation confirmed with dnschecker.org
  • No CAA record restrictions (Let's Encrypt authorized)
  • DNSSEC configuration verified with dnsviz.net
  • Service running and deployed
  • Domain configured in service's public networking section

Certificate status: Stuck in "validating challenges" for 72+ hours

Request: Railway is unable to validate the TXT record despite its confirmed presence. Please investigate on the platform side and resolve the HTTPS certificate validation blockage.

Try to remove your custom domain and all its related DNS records, wait for 10 - 15 minutes, and add it again. This usually fixes the stuck state.

@support

This is a platform-side issue blocking HTTPS certificate issuance for over 72 hours.

The TXT record is present and propagated but Railway cannot validate it.

Requesting direct support investigation and manual resolution.
