Custom Hostnames issues
I have generic.domain.com and I have other.domain.eu. generic.domain.com Can't be on CF so I'm trying to use Custom Hostnames. Well right now it is working but I can't seem to get to get an SSL cert if I use the recommended CNAME. It will only get the SSL cert if I set the txt record but I don't want to have to keep updating DNS. I've done .3a9feef3218822cd.dcv.cloudflare.com on _acme-challenge.generic.domain.com and genericdomaincom.3a9feef3218822cd.dcv.cloudflare.com on _acme-challenge.generic.domain.com. It seems neither works

The easiest way of course is to transfer authorized namesevers for those domains to Cloudflare, but DCV for dedicated records should work too -> https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/methods/delegated-dcv/

Delegated DCV allows zones with partial DNS setups - meaning authoritative DNS is not provided by Cloudflare - to delegate the DCV process to Cloudflare.
Ah another thing that they want money for.... I'll just do it manually
Delegated DCV for Custom Hostnames isn't any extra, he just linked the docs page for normal certs instead of the one for custom hostnames: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/security/certificate-management/issue-and-validate/validate-certificates/delegated-dcv/
It should also just work with the

Delegated DCV allows SaaS providers to delegate the DCV process to Cloudflare.
