I keep getting Cloudflare API: Total record size limit exceeded but can't find anymore info about it.
I’m using certbot with cloudflare plugin to automatically create the TXT content but even when I try to add TXT record manually get the same error:
Name: _acme-challenge.example.co.uk
Content: PzbhiEKiP0juIIf6kqzJQnuIzfSLCOjFw67UV1dssy0

Error communicating with the Cloudflare API: Total record size limit exceeded.
Strangely when I using another TLD it works.
