It has "Live Updates" in big bold text as one of the first and most prominent lines on the page so... yes? Is that a problem?

Publications have had live-updating articles for things ongoing for years. This seems both entirely reasonable and normal, and I'm not sure what the concern or issue is.

I read their comment as a simple “oh ok I understand now” type of clarification, not a complaint.

As per submission guidelines:

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

So, even if you use original title, once "Live Update" article changes, it might seem that submission did not use original title.

The point of the rule is to not editorialize, not to keep an always-updating title.

Given that the title was highly accurate at time of submission perhaps a moderator will update the title further but the submission seems to be inline with all the guidelines. This is actually also a case where I think it wouldn't be unappreciated to deviate a bit from the article title to something like Live Updates: Astronauts on ISS told...

100% and it has regularly happened in the past as live updates change the current state. Things like service status/degradation is a big one that comes to mind which is almost the same.
