Domain rougecardinal.org is not verified, TXT is ok in DNS and propagated

I'm trying to verify domain rougecardinal.org , but it fails

The TXT record is correctly set at our registrar's and propagated (source: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#TXT/rougecardinal.org )

Hi Thomas Darde,

Thanks for posting question in Microsoft Q&A,

The TXT record for rougecardinal.org may appear correct and propagated on WhatsMyDNS, but Azure can still fail verification for these common reasons:

TXT record not added at the root -> The “Host/Name” must be @, not www or anything else.

TXT value mismatch -> the value must match Azure’s verification code exactly (no extra spaces or characters).

Azure DNS cache delay -> Even if global DNS shows the record, Azure may still be reading an older cached result. This can take 10–30 minutes to refresh.

Domain already verified in another tenant -> Azure will refuse verification silently if the domain is in use somewhere else.

Multiple TXT records -> Old or conflicting TXT records can cause Azure to read the wrong one
