Django static files using s3

Question

I am having problems using an s3 bucket for my sites static files. Currently using django-storages and boto3.

In my setting.py I have:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = env("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = env("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = env("AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME")
AWS_S3_FILE_OVERWITE = False
AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = None
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = f'{AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME}.s3.amazonaws.com'
AWS_LOCATION = 'static'
STATIC_URL = f'https://{AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN}/{AWS_LOCATION}/'
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'

Running collectstatic sends static files to the s3 bucket successfully, but the static urls in my templates do not update.

I am using apache2 and have not changed the .conf file, do I need to?

Any help would be gratefully recieved

When you say but the static urls in my templates do not update. what did you meant by that, can you try printing the static_url in settings and see if you are getting url what you are expecting, and can you share your template where you are accessing this.
