Apply or change information in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
And in the ESTA FAQs:
If you obtain a new passport or change your name, gender or country of citizenship, you will be required to apply for a new travel authorization. This is also required if one of your answers to any of the VWP eligibility questions changes. The associated fee of $14 will be charged for each new application.
Updating Your ESTA
ESTA approvals are typically granted for a two–year period or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever is sooner. ESTA provides validity dates upon approval of the application. Therefore, a traveler must apply for a new ESTA when the prior ESTA approval or passport expires. The associated fee will be charged for each new application submitted.
Does a traveler ever need to reapply for travel authorization through ESTA?
Yes, a new travel authorization via ESTA is required when: (1) the traveler is issued a new passport; (2) the traveler changes his or her name; (3) the traveler changes his or her gender; (4) the traveler’s country of citizenship changes; or (5) the circumstances underlying the traveler’s previous responses to any of the ESTA application questions requiring a “yes” or “no” response have changed.ESTA approvals are typically granted for a two–year period or until the applicant’s passport expires, whichever is sooner.

What should a traveler do if the information in his or her passport has changed?
If a traveler’s passport information changes, the individual is required to apply for a new travel authorization through ESTA. A new travel authorization is required if (1) the traveler is issued a new passport; (2) the traveler changes his or her name; (3) the traveler changes his or her gender; (4) the traveler’s country of citizenship changes; or (5) the circumstances underlying the traveler’s previous responses to any of the ESTA application questions requiring a “yes” or “no” response have changed.

Had my 1st Renewal become available this month, so thought I'd get it kick-started early:
31st Jan - Applied for Border Force Code
1st Feb - Border Force Check Code Arrived
1st Feb - Applied for GE Renewal
2nd Feb - Full GE Approval Granted
Super quick process for me!

Both my wife and I applied for our first GE renewals this week. Me:
3 Feb (8am)- applied UK check code
3 Feb (3pm)- received UK check code
3 Feb (4pm)- applied GE renewal
5 Feb (4am)- GE renewal approved
So, less than 48 hours from start to finish. My wife’s application (submitted one day earlier than myself) followed a similar timeline.
Both fully approved with no need for an interview.

Arrived into MCO 04 February and did the Enrollment on Arrival, took perhaps 20 minutes for the pair of us and our Approval email came through before we had left the desk.

I recently applied for Global Entry for the first time, here's my timeline as another data point:
Home Office application submitted: 17:32 06/02/23
Home Office access code received: 00:17 07/02/23
Global Entry application submitted: 17:28 07/02/23
Global Entry conditionally approved: 07:10 09/02/23
Much faster than I had anticipated. Planning for Enrollment on Arrival on my next trip.

Is anyone not getting first application approval in 48 hours recently and if so how long is it then taking?
My name (and I assume d.o.b?) matches a person non grata in the US and my ESTAs never approve automatically but always within the 72 hours. Immigration officers have told me this and said they have cleared it but on every subsequent entry / ESTA application it happens again. So I finally decided to give GE a try but of course didn't get the semi automatic 48hr approval and assume I'll now be waiting months!
