Hi Railway team,
Custom domain stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for ~24h.
ACME TXT challenge is never published on Railway's authorize.railwaydns.net target.
Project: care
Project ID: fdaca019-61fe-48c0-a0e7-dea468db8a55
Service: care (070dd042-2e37-4536-9494-7eda021bec61)
Environment: production (6497d8f8-932f-4d0a-b369-8529b0b100e8)
Domains affected:
- care.lnctec.com.br (id: f05af03a-526d-4d05-a0c0-4cfc66cc12a4)
- CNAME care → xce08g5z.up.railway.app — PROPAGATED
- *.care.lnctec.com.br (id: 5b672a47-0d97-4cf7-8476-c236e17d8948)
- CNAME *.care → mr6sgu4i.up.railway.app — PROPAGATED
- CNAME _acme-challenge.care → mr6sgu4i.authorize.railwaydns.net — PROPAGATED
Symptoms:
-
Both domains stuck in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP indefinitely
-
dig TXT mr6sgu4i.authorize.railwaydns.net → returns empty
(Railway is not publishing the ACME challenge token on its side)
-
HTTPS requests to https://care.lnctec.com.br return 404 "train not arrived"
Already tried:
- Deleted and recreated both custom domains (twice)
- Verified DNS propagation globally via dig from multiple resolvers
- Confirmed Cloudflare proxy is DISABLED (DNS only / grey cloud) on all 3 CNAMEs
- Waited 24h+ between attempts
This looks like an issue on Railway's ACME provisioning side since the
authorize.railwaydns.net TXT record is never populated.
Could someone from the team trigger a manual re-validation or check why
the ACME challenge isn't being published for these domain IDs?
Thanks!

You need to add a TXT record to _railway-verify.care.lnctec.com.br. You can find the content for the TXT record under verificationToken under status.
