AirTag won't update me its location for hours
I have two Air tags in my bag one that will constantly update me it’s location to a second, the other won’t for hours, why is this and how can I resolve?

Hi Ashtonconn,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!
We understand that your AirTag isn't notifying you of its location as frequently as you'd like.
Here is a great resource which explains what you can expect when locating your AirTag and how it uses an encrypted anonymous network to help you to locate it: Find your keys, wallet, and more with AirTag - Apple Support
More ways to find your items
If you misplace an item with an AirTag attached, use the Find My app to see or get directions to its current or last known location. If it's nearby, you can also play a sound from your AirTag's built-in speaker. AirTag uses the Find My network, an encrypted, anonymous network of hundreds of millions Apple devices that can help you find your things.
See your AirTag on the map
1. Open the Find My app, then tap the Items tab.
2. Choose the AirTag you want to locate in the Items list.
• If the AirTag is within range of your device or the Find My network recently detected it, you see it on the map. An updated location and timestamp appears under its name.
• If the AirTag isn't within range of your device or any devices in the Find My network, you see its last known location and timestamp. To be notified when your AirTag is within range of your device or detected by the Find My network, turn on Notify When Found under Notifications.
If you can't see your AirTag on the map, learn what to do.
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
