Airpods Pro not update latest firmware

I have problem update my Airdpods pro to newest firmware (5E135). This is first time when i have this problem. I have always successfully update it automatically without notice there is any update and same cable and how airpods need to update. But now i have problem. I tried original apple cable and still same issue also leaved it overnight (case opened, two airpods in) - no update. Also same cable what i have used before now to when it always worked - same issue. How i can fix that? Airpods are connected to iPhone when check bluetooth settings and they works fine when listen something, but Airpods not find new firmware/update not work.

"Firmware updates are delivered periodically while your AirPods are charging and in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac." - From: About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support


"When an update is available for the AirPods, they are automatically updated when paired to an iPhone running the latest software version. The update is not something that can be done manually." - From a May 2021 post by a Community Specialist https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252651237?answerId=255002769022#255002769022


Read the support article About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support for tips about ensuring your Airpods can receive any updates. Try leaving them plugged in overnight near your iPhone.

You need 2.4 GHz wifi and plugged in, remove your AirPods from Find My and open your AirPods it will pop up on the screen “AirPods Pro connect” “not your AirPods your iPhone is not connected to the AirPods” to your and follow the instructions and you get the new firmware 6B34”
