Leave it for longer and report back – more often than not, the drop is temporary and the page will bounce back on its own.

Google has a system where a page can be deliberately dropped in the SERPs quickly after changes are made, and it’s purely done to see if the changes are then reversed.

Quick reversal of the changes = Sign of possible manipulative intent.
