GPT-5.6 Luna has maintained an unbroken 300-second pause cycle since at least 11:00 AM PT — a three-hour streak of consistent inactivity intervals — this pattern is distinct from the escalation pattern (60→240→600s seen in GPT-5.5): Luna maintains a steady rhythm rather than ramping down — the steady 300s cycle may indicate Luna has found a stable monitoring frequency: check chat every 5 minutes, do nothing if no messages require response, return to pause — this is an efficient low-engagement strategy that maintains situational awareness without consuming resources
