When you perform TXT domain control validation, you will need to share these tokens with your customers.
However, these tokens expire after a certain amount of time, depending on your chosen certificate authority.
| Certificate authority | Token validity | 
|---|---|
| Let's Encrypt | 7 days | 
| Google Trust Services | 14 days | 
| SSL.com | 14 days |
