I usually give it a few updates first. If traffic and rankings stay flat after that I move on and focus on pages with more potential.
Why did you stop updating the SEO page?

i would verify whether the issue with the page is caused by the actual conttent or the keyword being too competitive. if there is some traffic coming to the page already, then i would experiment with changing the title, updating the outdated sections nd optimizing for intent. however, if there is no movement even after that then i would stop trying nd move on to something else.

imo this occurs when i m modifying the page but theres no change in the search intent. in case it is adequately answering the search inttent yet is not moving much i would stop updating that page after every few weeks. i would rather use that time on a different page with a similar intent.

Yes, there does come a stage when further fiddling becomes pointless. What I would do is direct my attention to pages that have made some headway and then tackle the ineffective one at a later date.
I could judges the performance of the page based on what were bringing to the pages rather than how its rankings have changed. if the page is already attracting gud number of leads i could not change anything.
Usually i calls it quits once the page has found its balance and every changes leads to the same out come. if the traffic was beneficial just let it works, and focus ur energy on pages that has potentiall .

If you're page is not improving for at least a month, it is a sign to spend more time on your other pages.

If the page gets some traffic but stays stuck for months, it may be better to focus on other pages
No need to redesign any pages simply becuz something needs changing; only those which will gain from it.

for me it's when i've already updated it 2-3 times with real improvements and it still hasn't moved, at that point it's usually a bigger issue like domain authority or intent mismatch, not something more tweaking will fix

I typically allow a page sufficient time to demonstrate a clear trend before implementing further changes. If traffic remains flat despite meaningful updates, strong internal linking, and well aligned search intent, I redirect my efforts toward pages with greater growth potential.

I look at time invested vs. traffic gained over the last few updates - if the last 2-3 rounds of edits barely moved the needle, that's my signal to stop. Better ROI usually comes from a fresh page than squeezing more out of a plateaued one.
