Please do not close this request until we have a fix solution to this

I am using the latest version of Terraform version (0.12.12) but still getting the same issue which is mentioned here: #hashicorp/terraform#4149
But there was not solution provided.

recently upgraded my terraform script for eks. now I am started getting the tiller error and had to plan/apply again and again to make this working.

what could be the possible fix for this issue? Also there was 2 more issue

1. When I try to destroy the terraform I sometime gets this error:
   Error: Error deleting subnet: timeout while waiting for state to become 'destroyed' (last state: 'pending', timeout: 20m0s)

2. When I apply the terraform script ACM Certificate Never Validated. It seems to get stuck on the certificate validation. I see messages like this:
   module.dns.aws_acm_certificate_validation.main: Still creating... [38m21s elapsed]

I need to do a manual copy-paste in route53 to make it working.

Could you please looking into the issue.
