Brand new AirTag, doesn't update for hours

Brand new AirTag, doesn't update for HOURS. Even with many bluetooth devices around. I never would have bought it had I know it was redesigned to fail with the newest operating system. Has anyone figured this out yet?

3 out of 8 AirTags are still on old v1.0.291. 2 AirTags are from last year and other 1 is new from almost a week ago. So, why are these 3 AirTags still on the old version while the rest are updated on the (new/lat)est v2.0.73? I already tried replacing its batteries. Find My works fine. What is taking so long to update? Are they missing a lot between these 2 versions? I wished there was a way to force manual updates. Also, replacing their batteries didn't help. :( Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Does anyone have an AirTag that actually works? I have a couple different AirTags and none of them update for hours. I’ve asked other people that use AirTags and they all have the same issue so do these AirTags actually work? My batteries are fine and I’ve turned my phone, Bluetooth and WiFi on and off.

Take it back. That has not been the case for me when there is another Apple device able to transmit its location.
