        Hey there!
        Thanks for reaching out to us!
        For us to update any 301 link, we would need to re-discover the old pages to be able to follow and update the metrics.

        As our index continues to grow and links are rediscovered, links which have changed should be marked as “lost” for the original domain and “discovered” for the new domain. In order for our crawler to update metrics to reflect the new domain, it would need to recrawl the pages linking to your site and discover the links which redirect.

        The discrepancies between the DA of your old domain and new domain are probably due to the previously externally discovered links that haven’t moved over just or haven’t been discovered. I hope this helps to explain - please feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com with any further queries.
        Best,
        Eli

        • Why does OSE redirect to another url when the url you're testing doesn't redirect in your browser?
