Could you please clarify the context and where do you get this error?
I assume you’re trying to provision a certificate for your domain, but not on the Cloudflare side?
(not in the SSL/TLS tab of your Cloudflare Dashboard)
Have you added verification records? Are they resolving as expected?
You’ll need to make sure they are grey-clouded (set to DNS Only) in the DNS tab of your Cloudflare Dashboard.
I am using traefik as my reverse proxy. It is unable to retrieve a valid certificate. Below is the error:
ERR Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains error=“unable to generate a certificate for the domains [local.codistech.live .local.codistech.live]: error: one or more domains had a problem:\n[.local.codistech.live] propagation: time limit exceeded: last error: NS cory.ns.cloudflare.com. returned REFUSED for _acme-challenge.local.codistech.live.\n[local.codistech.live] propagation: time limit exceeded: last error: NS rayne.ns.cloudflare.com. returned REFUSED for _acme-challenge.local.codistech.live.\n” ACME CA=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory acmeCA=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory domains=[“local.codistech.live”,“*.local.codistech.live”] providerName=cloudflare.acme
I have removed all text records which are created for the DNS verification.
