I used to update Arch Live USB by downloading the monthly installation ISO.
Now I create the USB ISO image myself using Archiso

The whole process takes less than 10 minutes on a modern laptop.
Optionally you can test the ISO in QEMU
sudo pacman -S qemu-desktop
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -enable-kvm -audio none -cdrom /path/to/isofile/archlinux.iso
Finally, create a bootable USB flash drive
