Project: stock-manager (1a2a5888-b196-487e-8255-332c3b1ca1d0)

Domain: stock.scmaine.com

Issue: Custom domain SSL cert stuck at CERTIFICATE_STATUS_TYPE_VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for 20+ min despite currentValue == requiredValue == rernlgia.up.railway.app. Fresh binding, DNS propagated globally, CNAME correct, TTL 30min. Challenge path http://stock.scmaine.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/* is correctly served by railway-edge (404 expected). Please force re-issue or check for rate-limit backoff.

You need to add the TXT record to _railway-verify.stock in your DNS provider.

same root cause as other reports -the ACME challenge path returning 404 is expected,Railway uses DNS-01 not HTTP-01 for cert validation. the provisioner is just stuck.remove stock.scmaine.com from your service, wait 30s, re-add it. that forces a fresh cert request cycle. DNS is already correct so it should provision within a few minutes.if it stalls again past 10 min, it's a rate-limit backoff on Railway's cert provider (Let's Encrypt caps at 5 failures/hour per domain).nothing you can do client-side at that point - needs a manual re-trigger from Railway staff.
