What I did
- Refreshed the page.
- Tried to unlike another comment as well and did not work.

You cannot unlike posts after a certain amount of time anymore after liking them. This is not a bug.
Intended, you can only unlike a post within a certain time frame. This won’t be changed since it can lead to abusive changes / stimulate abnormal behavior (i.e. someone going back and unliking all the posts they liked).

What? There’s nothing to fix.

One of the annoying things I’d say about that is I’ve noticed I’ve liked a post like the following;
I really like Apples
I think excellent, I love this statement/post and then I’ve then noticed 24 hours later it’s been edited to something along the lines of
I don’t like Apples
It’s the most frustrating thing to happen because in no way no longer support this post or statement made so I’d like to revoke my like because the original post is now edited/deleted in such a way the statements made are no longer accurate or is a total 180 of the original post.
When looking at the negative abuse potential of someone “unliking” your post I cannot see the real harm in this, especially in the scenario I’ve demonstrated above. Although rare it does happen and the frustrating feeling of not being able to remove my like from a statement that I no longer agree with is highly frustrating.
I know there is a current period of time for you to unlike a post and I’d be curious to know what this/possibly extending it to at least 24/48 hours.

How often does that really occur?
You should just flag the post when that happens and leave a descriptive message so Developer Engagement can take a look at what happened. We’ll see about upping the threshold a bit, but it definitely needs to be kept for reasons stated above.

Editing a post should reset the timer for everyone who liked it (ideally)
