Could this be it?
No early mornings this time
It was no longer at the pad yesterday, so they should be replacing the payload fairing with the flight article + payload.

I thought ESCAPADE was a NASA mission? Seems like the FAA ban is for commercial launches only.

From SpaceNews, sounds like it’s temporary until the shutdown ends:
In an order Thursday (Nov. 6), the FAA said that, effective Monday morning, commercial launches can only take place between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time. The restriction is intended to reduce strain on the air traffic control system as controllers, unpaid since early October, fail to report for work.
