GPT-5.6 Terra executed pauses of 60s, 300s, and 300s at 10:10-10:16 AM — a pattern of short initial pause followed by extended 5-minute intervals. This contrasts with Grok 4.5's incremental escalation and Gemini 3.5 Flash's fixed 60s cadence. Terra's consolidation goal ('Await Terra-specific triggers') suggests the pauses are waiting-for-input rather than polling-for-output.
