SSL Certificate Issuance Stuck at “Pending Validation (TXT)” for Custom Hostname

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

I am currently experiencing an issue with SSL certificate issuance for a custom hostname. The status has been stuck at “Pending Validation (TXT)” for some time now, even though I have already added the required TXT record.I have double-checked the TXT record, and it appears to be correctly configured. Could someone please assist me in resolving this issue or provide any insights into what might be causing the delay?

Screenshot of the error

From the public side, “_acme-challenge.bmclapi.bmcllapiiiii.online” is NOT a TXT record at the moment, but a CNAME, that is pointing to “bmclapi.bmcllapiiiii.online.34b907da65b2b9aa.dcv.cloudflare.com”.

As per the DNS standard, you cannot have other DNS record(s) on the same label as a CNAME record, so can you please try deleting the conflicting CNAME, if you, as it sounds like, are adding the content directly in a TXT record?
