Cloudflare SAAS SSL Automatic Renewal

Hi,

I’ve just finished setting up Cloudflare SaaS for 25 hostnames, with traffic routing correctly through to sites.mysaasdomain.com. For each client domain (a mix of root and subdomains), I’ve added the required "DCV Delegation for Custom Hostnames" CNAME entry, for example:

_acme-challenge.test.example.com test.example.com.XXXXXXXXXXX.dcv.cloudflare.com
_acme-challenge.domain.com domain.com.XXXXXXXXXXX.dcv.cloudflare.com

Additionally, I’ve set the _cf-custom-hostname TXT record on each domain as part of the setup.

For some domains, I was also instructed to add a _acme-challenge TXT record alongside the CNAME, so in some cases I have both:

_acme-challenge.domain.com (CNAME)
_acme-challenge.domain.com (TXT)

I just wanted to confirm:

Will this configuration allow for automatic certificate renewal?
Is there a way to test that the automatic renewal will work as expected?

Appreciate your help—thanks!
