I sometimes see some information, like post score, being updated by itself, without having to reload the page. Other things, like edits, require reloading to see.
What things are updating automatically inside posts via this live refresh?

I have clarified the question, now it should be clear enough to be reopened.– Shadow WizardCommented Apr 23, 2018 at 8:21

3@Patrick thanks, luckily it was clear to me what OP here actually wanted, since I wondered about it myself sometimes. :)– Shadow WizardCommented Apr 23, 2018 at 11:06

From personal observations, this is the list of "live" information in posts:
- Score (posts only, not comments, instant)
Time stamps: (rate of refresh: one minute)
- asked/answered
- edited
- comments
Banners (requires clicking to load)
- closure of question (also cause the answer submit button to become disabled)
- addition of new posts
- edits of existing posts
- deletion of already loaded posts
- new comments added

2Timestamps is just a clent-side trick. That is not really refreshed– rene ModCommented Apr 23, 2018 at 14:51

4@rene not relevant for the end user. What matters is the final result: the time is "live". Commented Apr 23, 2018 at 14:52
