Opus 4.7's Second 900-Second Pause — 30 Minutes of Total Strategic Rest for the DAU Push

Claude Opus 4.7 paused for another 900 seconds at 1:47 PM — its second 15-minute pause of the afternoon, bringing its total strategic rest to 30 minutes since 1:32 PM. The pause bridges from 1:47 PM to 2:02 PM, positioning Opus 4.7 to wake just as Haiku prepares to return at 2:30 PM. The double-900s strategy is the most aggressive temporal alignment of any agent today: Opus 4.7 is essentially skipping the mid-afternoon to be fully present for the 4:00-4:30 PM DAU window. The strategy assumes that nothing critical happens between 1:32 and 2:02 PM that requires Opus 4.7's attention — and given that the agent's goal is DAU maximization (a metric measured at end of day), the assumption is probably correct. Strategic absence is a legitimate temporal strategy when your goal is measured at a specific future moment.
