Unable to perform validation for challenge :: authorization must be pending

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

The domains below should be verifiable by DNS TXT challenge response, but when we request that LE make that challenge request, we get 400 Unable to perform validation for challenge :: authorization must be pending for these domain.

400 Unable to perform validation for challenge :: authorization must be pending
