I don’t think it’s ‘broken’. It might not be entirely accurate all the time, but it might well be a better description than any of the alternatives. Something like “Current, if you click on the ‘Update Prices’ button every 5 minutes” might be too wordy. I suppose “Usually current” or “Typically current” would be more accurate, although that might cause a few questions. The usage of “Current” might be to make the description as user-friendly as possible, in that it’s similar to what ebay uses (it’s familiar). The “Current” is like the “Max Bid” amount entered via AS. In ebay, “Your maximum bid” is understood to include proxy bidding. The “Max Bid” in AS is sometime confused with something similar to ebay’s proxy bidding, that being users’ FAQ not covered in the FAQ of, “Does AS place multiple incremental bids?”

But, suppose I don’t know my head from my ***, what description would you, or anyone, suggest? The current “Current” text might not be perfect, but it may be less imperfect than anything else.
