Algorithms are always changing, this is just the way Google operates now, they want to make sure what is searched for and what is received from that search is relevant. It is impossible to tell what algorithms are at any given moment so when console data is updated, there may be some lag because when these algorithms update, you aren’t going to know if the data collected is from the new algorithm or the old one.
Key Takeaways:

“And, according to John Mueller, the functions of Google’s search console are unrelated to Google’s ranking algorithm.”
