I'm running an app in us-west-2 that keeps bugging out, but everything works fine when I move the app to us-west-1 (with the API gateway disabled in my configuration). To quickly get things back to normal, I'm looking to point my domain to the working region. I had an ACM certificate in us-west-2 that was set up via Route 53 using DNS validation, which worked without issues. However, my new certificate in the us-west-1 region is stuck in 'pending'. I've removed and then re-added the necessary CNAME records in the hosted zone, but it still hasn't gone through. Could there be a conflict with my existing instance that's blocking this certificate? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! It sounds like you're doing the certificate setup manually, which can lead to some issues. Make sure you created the CNAME records just like the ACM wizard instructed you. Have you validated the records using a tool like dig? Also, it might help to share what the original bug is because it sounds fixable if it’s working in one region but not the other!
I did follow the wizard, and the record was created correctly. As for the bug, it seems to happen when my app tries to create a Google Sheet after some data processing. It fails inconsistently, and it's perplexing since it works in dev. I definitely want to fix it, but right now, my priority is just to get back online!
