We believe the Web.com (Network Solutions) issue is mostly resolved, and affected subscribers should be seeing more success getting new certificates:

Weāre in the same boat as @kf6nux. We have thousands of customer domains on WorldNic/Netsol and spread across our certs so those certs will keep failing.

We saw the worldnic issue get a lot better about an hour ago and @JamesLE posted that itās either fixed or mostly fixed here: DNS failures (SERVFAIL, timeout) for domains using Network Solutions/Web.com/worldnic.com nameservers

In order to complete revocations before the deadline of 2020-03-05 03:00 UTC, we are planning to start revoking affected certificates at 2020-03-04 20:00 UTC (3:00pm US EST). Please continue to renew and replace affected certificates in the meantime. If there are any changes to this start time, updates will be provided in this thread. Thank you all very much for your patience, understanding, and help as we work through this issue.

As of 06:45 UTC 04/03/2020 no email notification.
Saw an article in āThe registerā and took 30 seconds to renew a certificate.
More good luck than good management!!
Should have checked before renewing, I suppose. Checked after and it seems OK now

A post was split to a new topic: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=āacme-v02.api.letsencrypt.orgā, port=443): Read timed out
A post was split to a new topic: Certificate renew with Kubernetes cert-manager
A post was split to a new topic: How to reissue cert for QNAP NAS
Bit of an odd one, the email I received shows the domain and serial number of the affected domains but searching the caa-rechecking-incident-affected-serials.txt.gz the serial number isnāt there. So do I still need to re-issue the certificate?

@RobC-CTL Can you post the specifics?
Are you sure it isnāt just a syntax issue or something ā some software displays serial numbers with colons and some doesnāt, and a simple grep wonāt match them.

Hi @mnordhoff
The email that I received:
Your affected certificate(s), listed by serial number and domain names:
038347490d86e1777e3b7a2382a31e3f90f9: coriniumtech.com www.coriniumtech.com
However searching the gz file for either the domain or serial doesnāt return any results. Iāve also checked the domain https://checkhost.unboundtest.com and it reports as OK. The certificate is due to renew on the 7th March.
Cheers
Rob

Hi @RobC-CTL
that value is in the file:
serial 038347490d86e1777e3b7a2382a31e3f90f9 53724289 bc0cd81bd98d29327120078607e585e3afa83da5d08584cd89edcc498f1de4f6 names: [coriniumtech.com www.coriniumtech.com] missing CAA checking results for www.coriniumtech.com at 2019-12-08 14:18:52.977438985 +0000 UTC
But the certificate is old, so you have already renewed it. So
https://checkhost.unboundtest.com/
doesn't show a result.

Thanks for the additional time to get replacement certs.
Thanks @JamesLE et al (including Network Solutions) for getting resolution to that problem which was blocking/slowing getting replacement certs for hostnames with worldnic NS.
We were able to get all ~1000 of our affected certs reissued prior to revocation.

Our CDN (Akamai) is still overloaded 
The renewal didnāt progress for 14 hours !
I opened a ticket with their support team, but Iām really worried it may not renew before revocation.

Your options seem to be to trust your vendor to get it resolved or have a contingency plan where you get your own cert (from LE or any other CA) and know how to deploy it (to Akamai or another CDN).

Iām still working through issues renewing my cert which I have a separate thread on already.
In case iām unable to renew my cert before it gets revoked id like to know what type of effect using a revoked cer will have on my email server and the usersā experience? Will send/receive communications continue but with warnings or will it just stop working altogether ?
This is the first time that Iām unsuccessful to renew the certs and would like to be able to warn the users until it gets fixed.

Checking validity is done by OCSP, and as these responses are valid for 4/5 days, they may remain in the cache of your clients, or if OCSP stapling is enabled, your server.
So itās quite unpredictable at which point users will see an error: somewhere between 0 and 4 days later.
At least in the case of Thunderbird, youāll get a message like the one in the screenshot here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1041573
By the way the status page now says that revocation will start at 20:00 UTC.
