Hello, when a movie or series is recorded, why does it take some time to be received by the api service? Is there another way to reduce the time of its release?

API - Update Delay
All data or images entered here on the TMDb Site are immediately available here on the Site.
Text data (titles, overview, cast etc...) in less than 1 second.
Images (poster, backdrop etc ...) take approximately 10 to 30 seconds.
It depends on the traffic at the moment.
But for a request made using the API, it will only be available within a maximum of 8 hours.
This period may vary depending on the flow of Requisitions.
Updates to TMDb Servers that are responsible for servicing API Requests are made periodically.
They are not done immediately.
I believe there are 8 servers spread around the world.

In addition, in some cases, APPs or Services may also use the Cache feature.
The data may be available through an API Request to TMDb's servers,
but are not yet updated on the website or service, such as Letterboxd or Plex.
So, only when the website or service you use, update the information will you have the updates.
If the problem is with Plex, you may be able to resolve it by reading the instructions on this link:

The Addon for Kodi, TMDb Helper, according to the author has an Refresh Time of 24 hours.

Synology may be using Cache. It depends on how it was configured. Look here:
https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/DSM/help/ProxyServer/proxy_server_cache
From Trakt.tv I still haven't found any official Cache usage information.
Just a few comments.
In the case of Letterboxd I do not know what is the frequency of update and/or duration of their Cache.
Alias, if you get this information, post here the link to the Letterboxd page
that contains this information about the Update Frequency and/or Cache Duration .
EDIT: See here https://letterboxd.com/about/film-data/
I will move this thread to API Support.
