Custom domain not redirecting to the *.pages.dev

The custom domains on my websites have stopped working and now say “Inactive (Error)” in the custom domain section of the pages.

The urls are:
fuckdaniel.ukhttps://fuckdaniel-uk.pages.dev/
keelecompsci.ukhttps://keelecompsci-uk.pages.dev/
slapcountdown.ukhttps://slapcountdown-uk.pages.dev/

For each page, I have added the respective custom domain and got Cloudflare to add the DNS record automatically. Each page has the DNS record:
Type: CNAME
Name: keelecompsci.uk (or respective custom domain)
Target: keelecompsci-uk.pages.dev (or respective dev URL)
Proxy: On
TTL: Auto

I also get the warning “This hostname is not covered by a certificate.” on each DNS record however this wasn’t a problem in January 2023 when I set up these sites. I haven’t touched these pages in 4 months since I set them up at the start of this year. I have recently needed to check on one and found it was down with all of my other pages.

Thanks for any help.

Whois data for all three domains says

*** This registration has been SUSPENDED. ***

It says on my Cloudflare dashboard that the domains are active

I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to fix this issue with no success, please let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this.

What DNS records do you have in Cloudflare for these domains?

Neither dig nor DNS Checker show records for any of the domains listed in your original post, though whois does show Cloudflare nameservers.

I have the following for each domain:

There is an orange warning triangle to the left of the record - what does it say?

Edit:

Data validation:
        Nominet was not able to match the registrant's name and/or address against a 3rd party source on 14-Jan-2023

That could very well be the reason for the suspension.

I get the following when I hover over it however it is only on the one domain and they are all setup the same:

The last time that I can confirm all of the domains were up and working, was around the end of February.

There is, as @Laudian has noted, an issue with the registration of all three domains @billonium4535. This information (which I initially overlooked) is available in whois <domain>.

There is also information to this effect when a lookup is done via the Nominet website as per screenshot below.

Looking up clientHold on the ICANN website it says

This status code tells your domain’s registry to not activate your domain in the DNS and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, non-payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion.

This explain why none of the domains resolve.

As per the information shared by @Laudian, there is an issue in verifying the registrants (your) information. I suggest you review your information with the registrar to ensure it correct.
