All Cloudflare plans.

**What should you do if you receive one?**

You only need to take action if you are notified that you have a certificate that failed. You can find the reasons why a certificate is not being issued in [Troubleshooting SSL errors](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/troubleshooting/general-ssl-errors/).
