Hi! It's true that the Age column isn't continuously counting up in real time, but this is by design: it's only recalculated when the table re-renders to prevent excessive re-rendering and performance overhead (especially in large clusters).

If this is critical, we could modify the logic to force updates to the table, but this might introduce extra load and usually isn't necessary. Let us know if you feel this would be worth adding in

It is not critical. But nice to have. What do others think about this idea?

You could fetch the pod creation date, and then calculate age in the frontend. That way, you won't need expensive updates any more than you do now.
