I sent two emails to the editor asking if it would be impolite to make progress.

Because editors also understand that the author is short of time, they usually reply to the author's email patiently and provide relevant information such as update progress.

In addition, if the author shows courtesy and respect in the email, the editor will be more willing to cooperate with the author

However, if the author sends emails frequently, it may make the editor feel stressed and uncomfortable, so the author can send emails within a certain time interval to express his gratitude and understanding.
