The last Google Toolbar PageRank update was 11 months and 18 days ago, almost a year ago, on December 6, 2013. Google’s John Mueller has told in a video hangout that there probably won’t be PageRank updates in the future.

And just a reminder, that toolbar PageRank refresh from about a year ago, was an accident. If that didn’t happen, it would have been almost 22 months since a toolbar PageRank update.
