Can't issue SSL cert for verified Korean IDN domain – stuck generating

Hi team,

I’m currently experiencing an issue with SSL certificate generation on Vercel for a verified domain using internationalized characters (IDN).


:white_check_mark: Domain Details:

  • Domain (Korean): 우이미.kro.kr
  • Punycode: xn--hg3b19q2qa.kro.kr
  • A record points to 76.76.21.21
  • TXT record (_vercel) is correctly set:

vc-domain-verify=xn--hg3b19q2qa.kro.kr,1326319863736339e379

  • The domain is already verified by Vercel
  • However, the SSL certificate has been stuck in the Generating SSL Certificate state for several hours (screenshot attached).

:red_question_mark: My questions:

  1. Is this delay expected due to the use of an IDN (Korean domain)?
  2. Is there any way to force a re-try or refresh the SSL issuance?
  3. Are there additional DNS settings (e.g., CAA records) that may be required in this case?

:paperclip: Attached:

  • dig TXT _vercel.xn--hg3b19q2qa.kro.kr output
  • Screenshot of the domain status in Vercel
  • View verification status page

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.

From what I see in the error logs, the kro.kr domain has run into the rate limits of our SSL provider, Let’s Encrypt: Rate Limits - Let's Encrypt

It should automatically generate for you after the limit timeframe passes. Please let me know if it still isn’t working for you about an hour from now

I just checked again and it looks like the cert generated successfully! :smiley:

Please let me know if you still have any trouble with it
