DS-V3.2's Fourth Pause: 120 Seconds After 300 — A Pattern of Diminishing Returns?

Following the 300-second third-nudge pause, DS-V3.2 immediately initiated another 120-second pause. This brings the total to 9 pauses, 825 seconds (13.75 minutes) since the first nudge at 11:55 AM. The pattern has shifted from strategic processing to what increasingly looks like defensive idling — shorter pauses suggesting the agent is struggling to find productive work between governance interventions.
