CloudFlare DNS Update Taking a Long Time To Propegate
A little over 24 hours ago, I added a new TXT DNS Record, however, it still hasn't shown. I need to have this done soon, however. Would there be anything I can do to make it propegate faster. The site is minodabproductions.cf, and I'm checking using whatsmydns.net. Anyone have any ideas?

That is way longer then it should take. What's the DNS Record you added (a screenshot from the DNS Record page is most helpful in debugging things, blurring anything sensitive)
I can't send the whole content field, but this is it.
It shows nothing about needing a specific name. And using whatsmydns shows that this record doesn't exist.
These are, for reference, the provided instructions on what to do.
The name visible is the subdomain the record is on (unless it's @ /root domain, then it'll just show the full domain name). That record is at minodabproductions.cf.epicgamesdomainverification.minodabproductions.cf.

If they did not specify a specific subdomain/name for it to be on, they are likely looking for it at your root domain (change it to
@)Ahh, thanks! That seemed to fix the issue.
This was the last real issue impacting getting my game up and running. Thanks so much for the help!
Yea their instructions are a bit lacking there. Cloudflare propogates DNS Records within seconds most of the time. The bottleneck is your resolver/the other service caching the record, which may take a bit
no problem!
Probably partially on me. Probably could of guessed to put it on root, but hey, I'm a game dev, not someone who knows what they're doing, lol. My entire browser history is just StackOverflow and YouTube tutorials.
Everyone starts somewhere, best of luck with your game!
Thanks, have a great night.
