Wildcard SSL cert wildcardConsistent: false — new subdomains 403 on Frankfurt edge

I’m running a multi-tenant SaaS app (archviz-platform) on Vercel with a wildcard domain *.lumicasa.homes. Since adding an api.lumicasa.homes CNAME record pointing to Railway (external service), any subdomain not visited before that change returns a 403 Forbidden from the Frankfurt edge (fra1).

Vercel support chat confirmed wildcardConsistent: false on my wildcard cert and acknowledged the issue is a partial DNS-01 validation that occurred when the Railway CNAME was present during original cert issuance.

My configuration:

  • Vercel nameservers ✓

  • *.lumicasa.homesarchviz-platform project ✓

  • CAA records include letsencrypt.org

  • Active cert cert_FgMrKfoQktdCov4yMwTUOkgH covering *.lumicasa.homes, issued Apr 26, 84 days remaining

  • api.lumicasa.homes CNAME → Railway (not connected to Vercel project)

What I’ve tried:

  • Disabled all deployment protection

  • Removed and re-added *.lumicasa.homes from project domains

  • Updated vercel.json rewrites to scope by host

  • Cannot delete the cert — “system certificates cannot be deleted”

What I need: A forced reissue of the wildcard cert cert_FgMrKfoQktdCov4yMwTUOkgH for *.lumicasa.homes on team ahmeds-projects-0a9f55f6, project archviz-platform.

Is there any way to trigger this without Vercel infrastructure team access? Or can a Vercel staff member here escalate this?

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.
