Could they not have had a clause in the contract saying “if you delay a revocation in any manner you owe us $100 million.”?

So a customer could go right ahead and get a TRO but long term it will cost them less than making sure their infrastructure can handle this rare event?

Liquidated damages are possible, but they have to have some relationship to the damages suffered, so $100 million is probably far too high. In any case, I think the complainant was correct that it was DigiCert who caused the entire scenario to happen by issuing certificates which they should have known were invalid.
