Email still attached to Apple ID deleted over week ago

I have deleted old Apple ID I wasn’t using for long and because I need to use the email used there with iCloud mail. I have added my domain to iCloud successfully and opened another address I needed but my main and most important one isn’t accepted with message that it’s still connected to another Apple ID . It’s been over 7 days since I deleted that old account and it was meant to take max 7 days but still not working

From the Apple Support Support article below:


Can I use the primary email address for my deleted Apple ID account to create a new Apple ID or with another existing Apple ID account?


No, once your Apple ID is deleted, you can't use the email address that you used with it to create a new Apple ID. In addition, you can't use that email address with another existing Apple ID except as a rescue email. Also, if your primary Apple ID email address is with a Custom Email Domain, it can never be reused to create an Apple ID after your Apple ID is deleted, even if the domain ownership changes.
