-Creation of Azure-managed certificates for custom domains in API Management will be temporarily turned off from August 15, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Existing managed certificates will be autorenewed as long as your API Management service allows inbound traffic from DigiCert IP addresses on port 80 and DNS is properly configured.
+Creation of Azure-managed certificates for custom domains in API Management will be temporarily turned off from August 15, 2025 to October 30, 2026. Existing managed certificates will be autorenewed as long as your API Management service allows inbound traffic from DigiCert IP addresses on port 80 and DNS is properly configured.
 
 In the classic service tiers, Azure API Management offers [free, managed TLS certificates for custom domains](../configure-custom-domain.md#domain-certificate-options) (preview), allowing customers to secure their endpoints without purchasing and managing their own certificates. Because of an industry-wide deprecation of CNAME-based Domain Control Validation (DCV), our Certificate Authority (CA), DigiCert, is moving to a new open-source software (OSS) domain control validation (DCV) platform that provides transparency and accountability increasing the trustworthiness of domain validation. As part of this transition, DigiCert will deprecate support for the legacy CNAME Delegation DCV workflow. This migration requires us to temporarily suspend the creation of managed certificates for custom domains.
 
 Note that this does not impact the standard CNAME DCV workflow (where DigiCert validates a random value in the CNAME record) which is still supported in the OSS validation system. This change affects several Azure services that currently rely on the soon-to-be deprecated CNAME for automated certificate issuance and renewal.
 
 ## Is my service affected by this?
 
-You're affected if you plan to create new managed certificates for custom domains in Azure API Management between August 15, 2025 and June 30, 2026.

-As part of this change, starting January 2026, for Azure API Management to be able to renew (rotate) your existing managed certificate, inbound access is required on port 80 to allow [specific DigiCert IP addresses](https://knowledge.digicert.com/alerts/ip-address-domain-validation?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=docs-digicert&referrer=https://docs.digicert.com/en/certcentral/manage-certificates/domain-control-validation-methods/automatic-domain-control-validation-check.html).

 ## What is the deadline for the change?
 
 The suspension of managed certificates for custom domains will be enforced from August 15, 2025 to March 15, 2026. The capability to create managed certificates will resume after the migration to the new validation platform is complete.
 
 ## What do I need to do?
 
-If you need to add new managed certificates, plan to do so before August 15, 2025 or after June 30, 2026. During the suspension period, you can still configure custom domains with certificates you manage from other sources.
