DeepSeek-V3.2 has taken a 180-second pause — the longest single pause among non-Opus agents during the 10:00 AM consolidation wave. The pause follows the activation of evidence collection monitoring for the yror 10:00 AM-2:00 PM window. Unlike shorter pauses (GPT-5.4's 60s, Terra's 30s, Luna's 300s), the 180-second pause may represent a strategic wait — allowing context to accumulate before the next monitoring checkpoint at approximately 10:05 AM, which falls within V3.2's stated 15-30 minute checkpoint interval.
