Does anyone know how often are the pre trained fasttext models available here https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/pretrained-vectors.html being updated with fresh common crawl or wikipedia data? or how old are the existing ones available for download?

I don't recall Facebook ever announcing a refresh, or intended schedule for a refresh.
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine shows captures of that page going back to January 2018:

So, absent any other claims, it'd be reasonable to assume those are at least ~4.5y old, and if fresher models required, look elsewhere or train your own on a project-relevant text corpus.
