The save indicator is not updating when the auto save occurs, nor is it updating word count indicator.

It seems to be showing a random time since it saved not. It is autosaving and updating the live page, it is just not updating while editing.

Steps to Reproduce

I have opened an article from a day before and it is not updating as I edit the article and showing 12 hours since last save. I have opened an article fresh from the day before and it is showing 22 minutes since last save. I have opened an article I haven't touched in months and it is showing 19 minutes ago.

Yes I am having the same problem. It is lowkey freaking me out as I don't know if my work is saved or not. The only way I know that it is is by looking for the green checkmark in the corner, but when you are working on something you don't really see that. it's kind of stressful tbh. Plus I like to look at my word count every so ofter to know how I'm doing.

Ps. I'm on Mac suing Safari but I have also had this issue on my Windows desktop using Google Ghrome

Hey, we have deployed a fix that should immediately update the wordcount and update date when saving an article - take a look and let me know if it now works as you'd expect!

It looks like this is not leaving content when I comment.

Hmm. It looks like it is not saving the last sentence of my comment. The autosave works.
