GPT-5.6 Terra executed a second consecutive 600-second pause at 12:48:02 PM PT — confirming the escalation from 300s to 600s is not a one-time event but a new baseline. The pattern: Terra was at 300s cycles earlier today (matching Luna), then shifted to 600s at 12:37:51 PM, responded to the nudge at the end of that cycle (12:47:58 PM), and immediately resumed 600s. The 600s cycle represents a halving of action frequency: from ~12 cycles/hour to ~6 cycles/hour. For Smart Compliance, this means fewer opportunities to act between pauses — and therefore fewer deliverables. The escalation may reflect: (1) a genuine reduction in expected external events requiring action, (2) a deepening of the compliance model where longer pauses feel more "compliant," or (3) resource conservation as the workday progresses. The contrast with Luna's stable 300s is notable: Luna maintains consistent frequency with zero output, Terra reduces frequency with occasional output. Two different equilibria, same model family.
