My AirPods Pro never update their location

This is not because I lost my AirPods, just to keep their location updated in case I lose them. They still work very well(I can connect them to any device like iPhone, Mac and iPad and there's no problem with hearing music sound), but they don't update their location since last year or 2 years ago. It says online though. I've tried everything like reconnecting my AirPods, turning off their Find My Network and turning it on again, like literally everything. They don't even play sound on the Find My. Everything works except that they just never show their location and play sound on the Find My.
