When will my cover image change?

#help

I updated the cover images on 2 of my posts. I was really hoping the new image would show up in the twitter cards. It's been several hours and no luck yet.

Am I forever stuck with the old images? Is it a cache thing? How do I fix it? Am I just being impatient?

These are the posts I changed.

Unfortunately there are no super easy automated ways to make this happen that Twitter supports. It will eventually change.... or you can do it manually with this cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

I'm content with "eventually". Also, that is a perfectly good fix. Thanks for the super quick response. My images are now updated and I learned something new.
