Wildcard custom domain *.aios-app.de stuck — "Failed to issue TLS certificate (internal error)"

Summary

On service "aios-web" (project AIOS, environment production, region EU West), the wildcard

custom domain *.aios-app.de repeatedly fails to get a TLS certificate with:

"Failed to issue TLS certificate — An internal error occurred. Please retry or contact support."

The apex domain aios-app.de on the SAME service issued its certificate fine and is live (HTTPS 200).

DNS is verified correct (so this is not a DNS-config issue)

  • DNS is managed by Cloudflare (nameservers delegated to Cloudflare at the .de registry).

  • CNAME *.aios-app.de -> udlys13e.up.railway.app (resolves to Railway edge 69.46.46.48)

  • CNAME _acme-challenge.aios-app.de -> udlys13e.authorize.railwaydns.net (DNS-only, NOT Cloudflare-proxied)

  • TXT _railway-verify.aios-app.de present and matches the dashboard value.

  • The ACME DNS-01 challenge tokens ARE present at _acme-challenge (following the CNAME),

    so the challenge target is populated — but the certificate still never issues.

  • No CAA record on the domain. No DNSSEC (no DS record at the registry; no SERVFAIL).

  • Verified from multiple resolvers (1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8).

What I tried

Removed and re-added the wildcard domain a few times, updating the new */_acme-challenge CNAME

targets in Cloudflare each time. Every attempt: DNS verifies correct, certificate still fails

with the same internal error.

This looks like a server-side certificate-issuance problem (possibly a Let's Encrypt rate limit triggered by the repeated retries). Could you please:

  1. manually issue / re-trigger the wildcard certificate for *.aios-app.de, and/or

  2. tell me whether the account is currently Let's Encrypt rate-limited (and when it resets)?
