How many days is normal for the DNS not updating? I'm on day 2

0

Hi, I updated my DNS records yesterday so I could use an email sender (domain dns verification) and know it can sometimes take hours, ive seen it take hours, minutes, but never more than 1 night of sleep. Am I doing something wrong or is amazon's DNS just really slow? How long should I give it? Im waiting 2 days on mailchimp and twilio's email company and now even a new domain I registered is waiting to be verified, via dns, by Lightsail. IDK why its taking so long.

    A few more details would be helpful to diagnose the issue:

    • Did you update the DNS records in Amazon Lightsail or Route 53?
      • Do you have other records that are working successfully on that same DNS zone?
    • Where did you register the domain?
      • Is the registrar correctly configured to point to the NS servers on that DNS zone? (Please note that each DNS zone has different NS servers so if you re-created the DNS zone you'll have to update them again with your registrar).

    It wasn't any of these, for anyone that finds this answer, the answer is your DNS settings are being set in Lightsail if you have a DNS zone attached to your lightsail. Making the changes there basically instantaneously worked faster than any DNS resolution ive ever seen.
