DCV validation Issues with my domains
@Chaika Thanks for the update, I have added the Certificate Transparency Monitoring instead. My purpose was to know if and when Cloudflare was updating the SSL certificates but I will have to think about if I want to put up with the noise or is anyone from Cloudflare going to fix this. Considering you said been like this for years, not holding my breath as obviously it was not them going away from Lets Encrypt as I thought.

Of course, it will happen during your next SSL auto renewals. If it is truly something I did or didn't do, just let me know and I have no problem modifying it.

Understood, I thank you ahead of time if you find anything out. Being a sysadmin for decades now, I would never put my mail servers through this extra "spam" for no reason especially if "something" internally "fixes" the problem within a minute.

DCV validation Issues with my domains
Hello,
Example email for latteau.net:
The Domain Control Validation (DCV) has failed for the certificate with the ID c22e3fe9-6780-4462-828b-91b3a9704eee belonging to Zone ID 27a0853c260c2298a537d176ff6cc410. The DCV method is currently set to txt.
Since the DCV method is set to TXT, please be sure to update your zone's nameservers at the registrar to the nameservers assigned to your zone in the Cloudflare Dashboard, or manually add a DNS TXT record to your authoritative DNS provider. For more help with changing nameservers, refer to https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/.
Create a DNS record _acme-challenge.latteau.net TXT pxd6WtR7AXsQV3UTMP2bNG1ZhK0KMjkj3GWo1bA24To
Create a DNS record _acme-challenge.latteau.net TXT xpCL_PdwrhSP8MmtCeIkS4O0X4vyCA97_PKIbrHKu1w
You should also ensure that traffic to this hostname resolves to Cloudflare's edge and that no Cloudflare firewall rules or page rules modify requests to the HTTP .txt file's URL. For more help, visit https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/troubleshooting/.
If you want to change the current DCV method, follow the steps listed here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/edge-certificates/changing-dcv-method/
For any additional questions, visit our Support portal.
Thanks,
The Cloudflare Team
FYI, I have setup the _acme-challenge domains many emails ago but the TXT random string keeps changing and Cloudflare is not seeing the references in each domain name.

What I have done, in the meantime, was disable the DCV email notifications until I get feedback on what, if anything that I have configured is causing the DCV problems.
Looking forward to any feedback anyone has regarding this.
