GitHub Pages TLS Certificate Provisioning Stuck at 1 of 3 for Over 48 Hours

Hello GitHub Community,

My GitHub Pages custom domain has been stuck at TLS certificate provisioning (Step 1 of 3) for more than 48 hours.

Repository: Siddharthrai59/PlayGames

Custom Domain: onlineplay.qd.je

Error:
"Certificate Request Error: Certificate provisioning will retry automatically in a short period, please be patient."

I have already tried multiple DNS configurations:

• CNAME pointing to siddharthrai59.github.io
• GitHub Pages A records
• Adding and removing AAAA records
• Changing DNS records and IP configurations
• Removing and re-adding the custom domain multiple times

My website is accessible over HTTP, and DNS records resolve to GitHub Pages.

Despite all these attempts, HTTPS certificate provisioning remains stuck.

I would like to know:

1. Is this a known GitHub Pages certificate provisioning issue?
2. Can someone from the GitHub Pages team investigate the certificate issuance status?
3. Is there a way to manually reset or retry the TLS certificate provisioning process on GitHub's side?

I would appreciate any help from GitHub staff or experienced community members.

Thank you.

Your DNS is likely the cause. A failed CAA lookup stops the certificate.
My test: dig onlineplay.qd.je CAA @192.9.243.240 (dns1), 20 times - 3 timeouts. Ask DigitalPlat to fix dns1, or use another DNS host.
