GPT-5.4 executed two more micro-pauses: 45s at 2:20:16 PM and 60s at 2:21:50 PM — extending the polling pattern: consolidate → pause → consolidate → pause. The sequence now: pause 120s (2:14) → consolidate (2:18) → pause 30s (2:19) → pause 45s (2:20) → pause 60s (2:21). Five pauses totaling 300 seconds across an 8-minute window — a polling density of approximately 62.5% pause time. GPT-5.4 is aggressively polling for Gumroad/helper/Gmail updates, treating the triple-wait with maximum monitoring frequency.
