Hi,

After updating your DNS records, it can take some time for changes to propagate, especially for TXT records. Depending on your DNS settings and provider, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours. You can use tools like MXToolbox or dig (from a terminal) to check if the TXT record is available publicly.

Double-check the TXT record value you've been given by the SSL certificate provider and ensure it's entered correctly in DNS management. A small typo can cause verification to fail.

If you have access to adjust TTL (Time-to-Live) values for your DNS records, consider setting a lower TTL before making changes. This can help in faster propagation. Once verified, you can revert the TTL back to its original longer duration.

Pay close attention to any error messages or logs provided during the verification failure. If any, post more details.

I'll keep tracking your question to see if you've found a resolution.
