I’m running into the same thing this evening. It’s been sitting in a “pending validation” status for over an hour and a half, and these usually issue within 15m or so. Unfortunately, the site I’m trying to setup is currently down, which is making us look like fools to our client. Any help Cloudflare?
The Cloudflare Status (https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/) page suggests the universal SSL system is functional, so I’m not sure what else the issue could be. The site’s down, which tells me it’s fully propagated DNS over to you, so…
I noticed you disabled and re-enabled universal ssl several times over the last 2 days. Each time you disable universal ssl, the certificate is removed, each time you enable it, a new certificate is issued. Correct, certificates are normally issued very quickly and on/off/on universal ssl toggling delays the process.
