My AirTag is already updated to this very latest release 2.036. Again why am I getting them so quick?
I don’t know.

Well it looks like your VIP on the Apple rollout because I’m near the nosebleed section still on 2.0.24 while others are still waiting to join the AirTags party on 1.0.301

Yet I still haven’t received my platinum Apple VIP discount card.
And fwiw, so far I’ve noticed no tangible change after AirTag updates. I though maybe the last update gave a tiny bit more juice/sound to the speaker but on second test I now doubt that is the case.
