System not executing correct pip binary

Question

This is my PATH, with ~/.local/bin appearing before all other directories:

$ echo $PATH
/home/tessio/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

There is a pip binary located on ~/.local/bin/ directory:

$ which pip
/home/tessio/.local/bin/pip

$ /home/tessio/.local/bin/pip --version
pip 22.2.2 from /home/tessio/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

But when I run pip the binary installed from the debian package runs instead:

$ pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

$ /usr/bin/pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

What's going on?

EDIT 1:

$ type -a pip
pip is /home/tessio/.local/bin/pip
pip is /usr/bin/pip
pip is /bin/pip

type -a pip ?

Try rehashing maybe hash -r , see also help hash.

After running

hash -r

The problem was corrected.

hash is a bash built-in command that determines and remember the full pathname of each command name. The -r option makes it forget all previous remembered locations.

Thanks to @MarkSetchell for giving a hand.
