Have you tried using URL Inspection in GSC to request indexing or using a third-party tool to get the page recrawled?
For the exact timing, I don't really have a definite answer.
It could take a couple of days or even a week but requesting indexing through GSC may help Google pick up the changes sooner
I have kinda similar issue becuase recently I have updated some of my details on a few citation sites and Google is still showing the old information in search.
I have submitted those URLs for indexing as well, so I'm currently waiting for the updated details to start reflecting in search

If the page itself has already been updated but Google is still showing the old title or information in search results, that’s usually normal.
Google may need anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to recrawl the page and update its search index. I’d normally wait about 1–2 weeks before worrying.
If the old information is still showing after that, I’d check the page in Google Search Console and request indexing again.
Also, keep in mind that Google doesn’t always display the exact page title you set. It may rewrite the title or search snippet based on the page content and other signals.

Google a few days or even a couple of weeks to recrawl the page. Check Search Console, request indexing, and make sure your title and content are clearly updated.

Check if the old title is still present anywhere on the page, like the H1, internal links, or other prominent text. Google can use these when creating the search title.

yes, it does happen at times. you need to request indexing in GSC nd just wait for some time; google is often slow in refreshing titles/snippet . you could even check if the old title still exist anywhere on your webpage.

Google needs a couple of days before seeing your website as updated. You can request indexing through GSC in order to speed up the process.

Check the page in Search Console and compare it with the live version. If your changes are there but Google still shows the old version, just give it some time to recrawl.
sure, this is quite common. first of all, I would ask for indexing in GSC nd also make sure that the old title does not appear in your H1 or schema or internal link becuz google can use them too.

yess, that happens a lot. I would check whether the old heading is present in H1, schema nd internal link nd then I would request google to index the page.
yeah, it does occur quite often. first, check whether an outdated title is still present in the schema, heading, or internal link. If no outdated title exist then it need to be submitted to index in the google search console.
yes, it is actually quite normal. first of all, I would find out from GSC if the existing title already exist in any of the schemas or internal links. If there are not any problems, just wait for the next crawl.

Google is limiting its crawl budget. If you want the page updated, you should either manually update it, link to it from a new post that gets crawled, or wait until Google recrawls it (which may take a lot of time depending on site authority).

Generally, I would allow Google some days or a week or two to crawl and refresh the search results

Clear your cache and hit request Indexing in GSC—it usually takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to update depending on crawl budget.

Use the check function in GSC, enter the website address to re-index it, and then just wait.

I’d first verify the updated version in Search Console rather than assuming Google is still using the old page. If the live URL is correct, I’d request indexing and then give Google some time to recrawl and process the changes. I wouldn’t keep changing the page repeatedly just because the old title is still showing.
