### Description

I made some changes in the custom css, but they’re not loading. Tried a lot of things, it looks cache but don’t know if I’m right. This is my css code so far:

```auto
/* NEW DAY FIX */

body #react-root .message.new-day {
  margin-top: 40px;
  width: 100%;
  max-width: calc(100% - 80px);
  background: transparent !important;
}

body #react-root .message.new-day:after {
  border: 0;
}

body #react-root .message.new-day:before{
