How long does it take for the app to recognise the domain CNAME?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my new domain with Pythonanywhere.

I set up a new web app called www.jimmysdealfinder.com, and I set my www CNAME to the pythonanywhere webapp address. I also set up a domain redirect from @ to www. This is what it says to do on the help page for setting up the domain.

I set it up about 6 hours ago, and I'm still getting the message:

Your domain's current CNAME is ext-sq.squarespace.com. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly.

I checked on CNAME lookup websites and they all show that the CNAME for www.jimmysdealfinder.com is the python webapp address.

Should I just wait for it to update or is there something I need to change?

Thanks.

Edit: It updated and the message disappeared and my domain is working now, thanks.

It looks like the DNS change for both of your domains has propagated now.
