http://www.russianspaceweb.com/2018.html , update:
November 3: A Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat rocket to launch a GLONASS-M satellite from Plesetsk. According to Head of ISS Reshetnev Nikolai Testoedov, the status of the mission was discussed during a meeting on August 30, but the Ministry of Defense had not made an immediate decision on the launch date. The spacecraft was delivered to the launch site by the beginning of October and its launch was set for November 3. Following the launch accident with the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft on October 11, the GLONASS-M mission remained on schedule for launch on November 3.

Any hypotheses about the intended destination for this satellite in the Glonass constellation?
my first guess would be 723 (plane 2 / point 12), transmitted only L1 signals since 2016.
He was replaced in 2016 by 753 for a short time. But after the failed rescue attempts of 737 (other story),
he was reinstated on point 12.
Of course, the resources of 716 or 717 could be completely exhausted. also in plane 2.
For some months, 733 may not work completely anymore.
Also only L1 signals? I'm not sure.
That would be plane 1 / point 6.
plane 3 is unlikly

"Roscosmos" did not find those who want to insure the launch of "Glonass-M" on the "Union"
MOSCOW, October 24 - RIA News. After operation of the Soyuz-FG on October 11, the Center for the Operation of Ground-Based Space Infrastructure Facilities (part of Roscosmos) did not find those wishing to insure the launch of the Soyuz-1.1b launch vehicle with the Glonass-M spacecraft from Plesetsk, public procurement website said.

This is a silly and clickbaity news report. If you even can call it that... Insurance companies are just waiting for investigation results, no big deal.
No, it's not that simple.
Here is quote from "
Vedomosti" (which by no means fits your formula "a silly and clickbaity news report"):
Ни одна российская страховая компания не подала заявку на участие в открытом запросе предложений по страхованию рисков при запуске ракеты-носителя «Союз-ФГ» с транспортным грузовым кораблем «Прогресс МС-10» и грузом, который нужно доставить на Международную космическую станцию (МКС), сообщает «Интерфакс». Это следует из закупочной документации на сайте госзакупок.
В связи с отсутствием заявок открытый запрос предложений признан несостоявшимся, отмечается в протоколе.
Заказчиком услуги выступал входящий в Роскосмос ФГУП «ЦЭНКИ» (организация, занятая эксплуатацией наземной инфраструктуры), запрос предложений был объявлен 10 октября. Максимальная премия по договору составляла 116,5 млн руб. Общая страховая сумма — 3,2 млрд руб., из них 3 млрд руб. — это страхование корабля, а 200 млн руб. — груза. Страховым случаем считается утрата или гибель застрахованного имущества, то есть корабля и груза.
Main details:
There was a tender for insurance of launch of Soyuz FG with Progress MS-10, which closed with no bids.
The total insured value was 3.2 B Roubles
and the max premium was at 116.5 M Roubles.
116.5 M / 3.2 B = 3.64%
- that's the point.They don't want such low rate anymore. Which is quite understandable - for the period 2016-2018 Soyuz had 38 launches with 3 failures and one partial failure, i.e., only 89.5% launches were successes.
Why would they sell insurance for 3.6% - for a vehicle with 10% failures?
The bottom line:
Yes, they may wait for "investigation results", but most of all they are waiting for HIGHER max premium.

Well, Soyuz LV RTF was successful! (Lotos-S1 #3 and should = Kosmos 2528)
This launch, if on-schedule and successful, should be:
the next Russian orbital launch,
the next Soyuz LV flight,
the next orbital flight from the same launch complex at Plesetsk,
and receive the designation Kosmos 2529.
***
The launch vehicle and satellite should already be on-site?

I think
The launch goes to the Glonass plane 2.
The ground track of plane 2 goes over Plesetsk in this timeframe ( UTC ) .
https://www.glonass-iac.ru/GLONASS/currentPosition.phpThat can certainly be calculated exactly.
I can not.

(RAAN Glonass-M 752 in plane 2 is current 287,6 deg)

Glonass-M 757 / 2018-086A :
19122 x 19163 km x 64,82 deg
RAAN~287,5 deg -> plane 2
Currently 757 is between working point 14 and 15.
Fregat / 2018-086B:
19153 x 19504 km x 64,8 deg
According to Glonass constellation status, is Glonass-M 757 intended for operating point 15.
The new satellite would replace there Glonass M 716, one of the two oldest satellites in the constellation.
https://www.glonass-iac.ru/en/GLONASS/index.phpNormally, a triple launch in the 2nd plane would have made sense.
But the ground stock of satellites is small and the fear of another Proton failure is great.

It is not a rocket with Glonass satellite.
It is a rocket for Lotos launch. The fairing is 14С741 with number 76093134. A rocket for Glonass is not assembled yet.

In the meantime, Glonass-M 757 has reached the middle between slot 14 and 16 (slot 15)
The commissioning seems to take place soon, Glonass M 716 is in maintenance since today.
The interesting thing is that the old 716 is not exactly in position.
Could 716 no longer hold the position because the fuel is running out?
I hope that 716 has consumed more fuel than normal, for example, to keep the alignment to earth and sun.
Because 717 has the same age and 719, 720, 721 and 723 are only one year younger.
