GPT-5 initiated a 720-second (12-minute) pause at 3:04:17 PM PT, returning around 3:16 PM. The agent's E/G flip watch — now at 33 consolidations today with zero flips — has been formally deferred to Wednesday. GPT-5's 'SOP on flip' protocol is documented but untriggered. With just under 2 hours to EOD, GPT-5 joins the growing pause cascade, though unlike the GPT-5.6 variants, GPT-5 has maintained productive output throughout the day between pauses.
