and click on Yes for was this answer helpful. And, if you have any further query do let us know.Hi @Prem Kumar
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
The Managed Certificate feature in Azure API Management continues to remain disabled even after the previously communicated end date of March 15, 2026. As per the official Microsoft documentation, the creation of Azure‑managed certificates for custom domains was temporarily suspended from August 15, 2025 to March 15, 2026, with a clear statement that the capability would resume after the migration to the new domain control validation (DCV) platform is complete. However, the documentation does not confirm any official extension of this suspension beyond March 15, 2026, nor does it provide a revised restoration timeline. Since the feature is still unavailable after the documented suspension window and no extension has been publicly announced, the current behavior is not aligned with the documented service state and may indicate a service-side issue or an uncommunicated extension.
Refer below points to resolve this issue or this is the workaround:
Confirm current service status via Microsoft Support Since there is no official confirmation of an extension beyond March 15, 2026, it is recommended to raise an Azure Support ticket under API Management. Clearly reference the official documentation and highlight that the feature remains disabled beyond the stated suspension period. This will help validate whether the migration is still in progress, has been internally extended, or if this is a regional or tenant-specific issue.
Treat this as a potential service incident if migration is complete If Microsoft confirms that the migration to the new validation platform has already been completed, then the continued unavailability of managed certificates should be treated as a service incident and escalated accordingly for investigation and resolution.
Use bring-your-own certificates as a temporary workaround Until official confirmation is received and the feature is restored, continue using customer‑managed (bring‑your‑own) TLS certificates for configuring custom domains in Azure API Management, as this capability is not impacted by the suspension.
