Research direction

Start by locating the affiliated badge markup or page templates in the Astropy web pages and inspect how these badges currently present update information. Compare them with the live-updated badges, then make the update status or last-update date visibly distinguishable and verify the rendered result.

Description

Visually looks like other badges that are live-updated but they are really not. Maybe make "last update" also visible as a badge?
