if your skimmer cup has a drain installed maybe just leave it running with the cup on and the cap off to flow back into the sump?

As others stated give it time... I just recently used it and saw a major difference in one day, maybe I am an exception. However by day 2-3 it should be gone.

So even when you let it sit for a few days, do you still do your water changes 48 hours like they recommend?

For sure, you want to do the water change. Don't risk your tank inhabitants by leaving it in there.

After 24 hrs about half my cyano was gone. All after the 48.

Skimmer still going nuts after a 20% water change. Putting some fresh carbon in now and hopefully skimming normally by tomorrow.

Really impressed by how well this stuff worked. My corals showed no signs of stress. I did notice some of my sponges look a little deflated tho.
