AWVERIFY not propergating

Yesterday at about 3pm, I setup awverify records for two website I want to transfer from one Azure account to another. By the end of the day Azure still wasn't allowing me to add my domains, so I took a gamble and re-pointed the domain and www sub-domain to the new IP. This morning of course my sites were down and Azure still won't accept my domains. I've had to point the domain and www sub-domain back to the old IP.

Obviously I'm expecting the response that the awverify CNAME hasn't propagated, but my DNS, and others I checked online, changed within an hour. Why would Azure take 18 hours and counting?

I'm quite sure I've set it up correctly... Azure error requesting AWVERIFY CNAME

I found the answer, though I can't find this documented elsewhere. The cause of the issue is that I was migrating from one Azure account to another. It seems that Azure will not allow two website (even in different accounts) to use the same host names.

Once I deleted the host names from the old account, I was able to add them to the new account.

I can see why this would be the case, but it should be documented somewhere as I can't be the first person to run in to this.
