Common troubleshooting steps include verifying your Cloudflare API token's permissions, checking DNS propagation, ensuring your domain's nameservers are correctly pointing to Cloudflare, confirming correct installation of the `cloudflare-dns-auth` and `cloudflare-dns-cleanup` scripts, double-checking the domain name and wildcard format in your Certbot command, and checking the Let's Encrypt rate limits.
