update_post_meta()
will update the value for the provided key if the key already exists in the database and then returns true, which is what you’re seeing for subsequent calls. It only returns the ID of the post meta if the key didn’t exist previously. If you want to store multiple values (rows) with the same key, use add_post_meta()
instead.
