Our website is not getting updated for top searches (when checking from Google Webmasters) though others such as Links to our websites and Crawl Errors are updated on a daily basis.

Top Search Queries are getting updated once every 10 days only. I don't know the exact reason why it is happening.

Short primer: the “Top search queries” (Performance > Queries) data you see in Google Webmaster Tools / Search Console is not real-time and is processed separately from reports such as Links or Crawl stats. Different reports have different update cadences and processing rules, so it is normal for the query table to lag behind other panels. For official details see Google Search Console (Performance) and Google Search Central documentation (Google Search Console, Google Search Central).

Practical checklist to diagnose and reduce lag:

  • Confirm you are viewing the correct Search Console property (domain vs URL-prefix; http vs https; www vs non-www).
  • Check the Performance report filters and date range; remove filters that might hide recent queries.
  • Verify sitemaps are submitted and processed, and use URL Inspection to check index status for specific pages (you can request indexing there).
  • Review Crawl stats and server logs to confirm Googlebot is visiting recently; check robots.txt and noindex headers.
  • Remember low-impression queries can be aggregated or take longer to surface in the report.
  • If you need automated monitoring, consider the Search Console API and compare its timestamps to the UI.

This combines ’s suggestion (fresh content helps discovery) and ’s point (Search Console data is not real-time). If Performance data still looks stale after a couple of weeks, recheck ownership, sitemaps, and crawlability, then consult Google Search Central help for next steps.

I think Google does not display the real time data for any sites and it always lag behind several days. IMO.
It is only for reference purpose. :)
