I have the same issue as in this post here: Extra ACME TXT records preventing renewal

Cloudflare is adding a hidden acme-challenge TXT records that I cannot prevent or edit.

I did open a ticket [#3167226] with Cloudflare but it needs to be escalated since I got a Free account.

Please help.

The extra records should not cause any problems according to the standard.

If the extra records do cause problems, you should contact LetsEncrypt so they can find out why.
As a quick fix, other users have reported that disabling and re-enabling Universal SSL removed the extra records.
