| - Add `certificateRequestMaximumBackoffDuration` controller configuration option to cap retry backoff time for failed CertificateRequests. Configurable via config file, `--certificate-request-maximum-backoff-duration` CLI flag, or Helm value `config.certificateRequestMaximumBackoffDuration`. Defaults to 32 hours for backward compatibility. ([`#8893`](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/pull/8893), [`@lunarwhite`](https://github.com/lunarwhite)) | ||
| - Add an optional `waitInsteadOfSelfCheck` field to ACME HTTP01 and DNS01 solvers so cert-manager can skip its own self-check and ask the ACME server to validate after a configured wait.
