Unfortunately the value seems to not update everyday. Does anyone if I should upgrade the code or add some cron job or something?

$new_post = array(
    'post_title' => "Order {$order_id}", // Definieer titel van de post
    'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'), // Voeg publicatiedatum toe
    'post_author' => $user_ID, // Definieer de klant als auteur
    'post_type' => 'groeiproces', // Definieer CPT
    'post_status' => 'publish', // Publiceer post
  );    

  $post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);

	$now = time(); 

	$date_created = $order->get_date_created();

	$dt = new DateTime($date_created);

	$date = $dt->format('Y-m-d');

	$your_date = strtotime($date);
	$datediff = $now - $your_date;

	$diff = round($datediff / (60 * 60 * 24));

	update_post_meta( $post_id, 'datum', $diff );
