Background of the issue:
I am trying to make sure I always have up-to-date WPML plugins. The issue can be seen at hidden link.

Symptoms:
WPML plugins are not updating automatically as set in WordPress. I expected to see up-to-date WPML plugins, but instead, I got outdated WPML plugins all the time.

Questions:
Why are my WPML plugins not updating automatically?
How can I ensure WPML plugins are always up-to-date?

Hi there,

I can see that auto updates is enabled and that you are using the latest version of WPML.

One thing to note is that we release the latest major versions in cohorts.

That means that while our website will always list the latest version as available for manual download, the WP interaface might not receive a notice that an update is ready until a few days later.

Also, some users might be at an earlier cohort than others.

Example:

we release a new version on Monday --> immediately available on our website
cohort 1 --> receives it Monday
cohort 2 _--> receives it Tuesday
etc
etc
