It’s turn based. Played in rounds like other 4x games. It’s possible for 4x games to have RTS elements, but the genre RTS is primarily building and battling individual units in real time.
To clarify, a game not being RTS specifically doesn’t mean it’s not a strategy game, or grand strategy. It’s just not what the genre RTS defines.
Look at any of the following full RTS titles and see the difference: Age of empires, Command and Conquer, Warcraft III, Starcraft II, Company of heroes, Halo Wars, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War.
For what RTS hybrid looks like in 4x, look at the total war series, where the battles are fought on real time battle fields managing individual units.
Steam lists stellaris as 4x, real time with pause. You can decide that means something different all you want. I gave you the tools you need to figure it out.
Frankly, I don’t have time to argue with someone about something trivial over the course of weeks. Later
No, I’m just not going to be goaded anymore. You’re allowed to have your opinion. No one can take that from you, my guy.
I’m sorry if it’s important to you that a random stranger on the internet agrees with you on a niche classification of your favorite game. I just don’t care that much.
I gave you the resources to see for yourself. What you do with that is entirely up to you. In the meantime, I’m out. Don’t expect me to reply from this point

it’s not turn based.
RTS is not inclusive of any game based on whether it’s turned based or not, it’s a specifically defined genre of game.
of which stellaris seems to fit nicely.

you can pause AoE.
Go argue with steam. According to you they classified stellaris wrong. I don’t care enough to tell you why it doesn’t matter
so you agree it fulfills the criteria then?
