I have a video that I posted 2 months ago. I have been working on learning as much as I can about YouTube SEO and today, 12-22-2022 I pretty much changed all of the meta data of my video! So, how long does it take for YouTube to process and recognize the changes I made. I am not asking about if those changes will help or not, just about the length of time it takes YouTube to fully process changes?

YouTube recognizes it immediately... but it can take 72 hours (or more) for them to have an introductory understanding of the demographics these changes target. They will actually experiment with the viewing demographics for your video for up to a year (or more?).

OK, so in that case, if there are major changes in the meta data, can it actually be better to just re-post the video altogether? Or, does the same time frame apply to the demographics either way?
