Vercel indicates that this domain is linked to another Vercel account and asks me to add a TXT record for ownership verification. I’ve already added **all the required DNS records** (CNAME and TXT) exactly as shown in the Vercel dashboard on my domain host (ACM’s hosting provider). Despite this: * DNS records are correctly added and saved on the host * I’ve waited sufficient time for DNS propagation * Clicking **Refresh** still shows “Verification Pending” I want to confirm: * Is there any additional step needed when a domain was previously connected to another Vercel account? * Can DNS caching or proxy settings cause this even when records are correct? * Is removing the domain from the old Vercel project mandatory before verification succeeds? Any guidance or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!   system (@system) · 2026-01-09 The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues.
