I would recommend the first thing to do is remove Google from the list of providers.

It seems that Squarespace has no interest at all in offering any type of DDNS... I wasn't able to even find any documented API reference at https://developers.squarespace.com/ for how to manage anything related DNS of the domains they are a registrar for (probably because they are so heavily focused on front-end templated sales websites).

(I've personally moved my domain I was using this for over to Cloudflare because I just didn't want to deal with this nonsense of the Google --> Squarespace transition any longer.)

This is the email that Google Domains sent to those of us who were using Google DDNS. You'll note that Google essentially says "you'll just have to look elsewhere than squarespace". Also note the timeframe that this is going to happen sometime within the next 30 days.

Thank you @brunsc for creating the issue and @Zeustopher for the very detailed comment 💯

The google provider was removed, documentation updated, and the program returns an error if someone uses the google provider.

Google haven't moved over all the domains yet. If this change broke your dns like it did mine (thanks), tag v2.5.0 was the last working one.
