Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a CRED form, I add below code in functions.php

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    if ($form_data['id']==2775)
    {
       wp_update_post( array(
            'ID' => $post_id,
            'post_name' => $post_id
        ));
    }
}

I am sure the post is new but don't know why the slugs always adding -2 at end.

Hello,

This is expected result of WordPress, for example, you can test it without Toolset form plugin, create a post in admin side, in section "Permalink", change the value to post's ID, save it, you will be able to see the same result:
the slugs always adding -2 at end.

In your case, I suggest you add a static text before post ID, for example, replace this line from:
'post_name' => $post_id

To:
'post_name' => 'post-' . $post_id

Then you will be able to get the post Permalink like these:
post-123
post-456
...
