How to resolve Cloudflare code 81053 error

The Error 81053 in Cloudflare is an indication that an A, CNAME, or AAAA record already exists under the same name.

According to our Support Team, the reason behind this specific error is the result of the AAAA records at the top of the list. We cannot have an AAAA as well as a CNAME record for a host. In other words, we cannot add a new CNAME to the list when an AAAA record with the same name already exists.

Furthermore, the AAAA records have to point to the current web host. If we want to change that, we have to delete the AAAA records. This allows us to add the CNAME record we prefer.

Additionally, the error may also occur if have another DNS record that is an AAAA, A, or CNAME record for our root domain. In such scenarios, we come across error 81053.

Alternatively, the error may arise when Cloudflare scans our DNS records. If it picks up the hostname and adds it as an A or CNAME record, we will have an incorrect record on our hands. According to our Support Team, we can resolve this by deleting the incorrect record, enabling us to add the CNAME record.
