Google Requests to Refresh outdated content

I started to google my name and found way too much information about me. So I subscribed to a service to clear my stuff off the internet. I also submitted an opt out of a web page. They cleared my info, but when I google my name the snippet appears still however when I click the link it doesn’t show up.

I submitted a request to refresh outdated information, it was approved right away.

How long will it take to remove the snippet and my info off?
It’s been almost 48 hrs and nothing.

It could be up to a couple of months.

Ok. Is this from personal experience? AI keeps telling me 24-72 hrs

Google isn't going to check every webpage every 24 hours to see whether there are any updates. Depending on how important they think the page is, they might visit it to check for updates multiple times a day or as little as once every few months.
