Cloudflare verify link not working

Feedback

Hello, I am writing in feedback because I see that this problem was already treated with this ticket : Cloudflare Status - During domain transfers, some customers may be unable to verify their email address due to an invalid verification link
I’m having the exact same issue today (May 18, 2025) - exactly two years after the original incident. I keep getting “invalid verification link” errors when trying to verify my email address while setting up Cloudflare for my domain.
I’ve tried everything:

Clicking the link immediately after receiving the email
Copy-pasting the entire link into different browsers
Using incognito mode
Using different devices
Requesting new verification emails multiple times

Nothing works, and it’s really frustrating. The weird thing is this is happening on exactly the same date (May 18) as the incident from 2023, which seems like too much of a coincidence.
I’m in the middle of transferring my domain from OVH to Cloudflare, and I’m stuck because I can’t get past the email verification. I’ve already set up my DNS records in Cloudflare and disabled DNSSEC on my domain, but I can’t move forward because of this verification issue.
Can someone please help me with this? Is there another way to verify my account? Or could this be the same bug from 2023 happening again?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

As I understand it, you’re talking about the email verification of the email address, that you intend to use for the registrant contact role, for your domain name?

Or is it the one for your Cloudflare account, which can be seen on the following link?

I think we’re playing too much with assumptions here, … until solid / bulletproof evidence is actually pointing in that direction.
