changed my youtube display name but comments still show the old one

Question

Renamed the channel two days ago as part of a rebrand. The channel page shows the new name, my older comment replies still show the old one. Does it catch up by itself or did I change the wrong thing, handle vs name?

Normal, old comments can take a few days to catch up. Check you changed it in YouTube Studio (Customization > Basic info), and don't keep changing it, you only get two changes in 14 days.

the handle is separate too. if you changed the name but not the @handle, comments will still show the old handle. it's in the same basic info section, a field underneath.
