Unable to delete TXT record

[michmoor]

I am trying to renew a certificate but the log file shows that its able to create the TXT record which i have validated by logging into my cloudflare account, but it seems to get hung up on the purging process of deleting the TXT record.

[Mon Jan 27 17:48:29 EST 2025] response='{"msg":"Purge request queued. Please wait a few seconds and verify the request was successful."}'

This message loops over and over again. So its able to create it but not delete it but i don't know why . Deleting the TXT record myself doesn't seem to help the process either.

I presume you've used the GUI of your registrar, and edited your domain name zone yourself ?
I'm pretty sure that GUI request winds up in the same queue.

I'll put my bets on : a temporary registrar bug.

Normally, the adding of a TXT zone info is important, as this is needed so LE can validate your cert request.
In theory, the deletion may take "60 days or so", the delay you use when you ask for a cert renewal.

I didn't find the part where acme.sh tries to repeat the 'delete'. The removal of the added TXT zone can omitted ( see command line options acme.sh ).
What do you use : dns_clouddns.sh or dns_cloudns.sh ?
