It could take up to 48 hours depending on when a server last refreshed the
NS records for your domain.

You don't have to do anything, it may not take that long, it all depends on
the TTL of your NS records and what servers still have them in cache. It is
possible that for some people to have never noticed that domain name
expired. If the DNS server they use had your NS records in cache.
