AirPods which have a discharged battery, or in standby mode in a closed case will only be visible for a limited period in Find My. In any case you will only get the location where the AirPods were last seen active by your iPhone.
See Apple's advice in How to find your lost AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max - Apple Support
Your methods of last resort:
(a) Try to remember where you last had your AirPods.
(b) Search the old fashioned way with Mk1 Human Eyeball.
(c) If you have kids available, arrange a Scavenger Hunt.
