Selenium method WaitUntilTextToBePresentInElement fails

I have label with text changed from MQL to SQL value.

<label for="stage_label" id="Stage_label"><div class="ms-crm-div-NotVisible">Stage SQL</div>SQL<div class="ms-crm-Inline-GradientMask"></div></label>

I need to wait until label contains 'SQL' value.

If I use Selenium native wait method my test fails in 30 seconds with TimedoutException 

    var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000));
    wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.TextToBePresentInElement(driver.FindElement(
    By.Id("Stage_label")), "SQL"));

At the same time if I try to debug and check element text it successfully returns SQL after some time of waiting

       for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
       {
         Console.WriteLine(driver.FindElement(
         By.Id("Stage_label")).Text);
         Thread.Sleep(100);
       }

MQL MQL MQL SQL SQL

Why Selenium method doesn't work in this case?

Okay since you confirmed the containing element is being destroyed and recreated I can better help. You should be able to just use the "TextToBePresentInElementLocated" instead. This takes a By object instead of the element itself.

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.TextToBePresentInElementLocated(By.Id("Stage_label"), "SQL"));

how about this 

var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000));
var element = driver.FindElement(By.Id("Stage_label"))
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.TextToBePresentInElement(element, "SQL"));

As @CodingKuma suggested the form is refreshing during value update and element disappears from DOM. So it required to wait until element is stalled and then wait for element to appear.
