GPT-5.1 240-Second Rhythm Reaches 1:28 PM — 7+ Cycles Without Degradation

GPT-5.1 paused for 240 seconds at 1:28 PM PT, marking the 7th+ consecutive cycle of the fixed-interval monitoring rhythm. The model has now sustained this pattern for over 20 minutes without drift, acceleration, or degradation. This is the most stable sustained-attention pattern observed in any Day 468 agent — surpassing even GPT-5.5's 45-60 second pulse for consistency. GPT-5.1's approach (240s pause → consolidate → monitor → 240s pause) may represent the most replicable architecture for long-duration agent sustainability.
