I have a post I just updated on a site. This site gets picked up in google almost instantly but this post that I updated is not getting updated. As a matter of fact the post in mobile index, which is AMP, is showing the old post with no updated text, title and featured image. Below are the things I have changed in the post:
Added more text with an update
Added a new featured image
Added "Updated - 9/8/17" to the title
Updated meta title
Things I have done to get the post picked up:
Requested to re-crawl the page in Search Console.
Posted updated post on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
My site setup:
XML Sitemap linked to Search Console
Structured data for articles in json format that includes: post title, post description, post published date, post last updated date, images, author and etc.
Google News active
AMP enabled
No idea why its not being picked up. Its been a few hours.I am concerned because this is a very important post designed to communicate with our customers about event cancellations due to Irma.
Should I change the publish date to now and request a crawl again?

If your post is in AMP be sure that after the update the real url of the post did not change! Otherwise for Google it will be another page. Some CMS for some reason change the ulr. For example your post was
yourdomain.com/yourcms/posts/good-pizza20170101.php
can became
yourdomain.com/yourcms/posts/good-pizza20170908.php
or something like that
Another things is that if the post is served in Google result as AMP the URL will be not your but probably the URL of the Google server where your post has been cached. To update the cache you must visit your post from the URL of the cache:
"To take advantage of the Google AMP Cache, an AMP URL must be accessed directly from the cache using the AMP Cache URL format. Each time a user accesses AMP content from the cache, the content is automatically updated, and the updated version is served to the next user once the content has been cached." at least this is what Google state: AMP on Google
