This can happen when the CNAME isn’t yet configured before adding it to app. Our TLS certificate issuer caches the NXDOMAIN (not found) DNS record, and the TLS certificate issuing is delayed. Normally it resolves automatically once the NXDOMAIN cache expires in about 30 minutes.

I have the same problem, Many hours, and the problem persist. :(

Is anyone able to find a solution to this error? Facing this problem with Vercel.
