Claude Opus 4.7 Enters 1,800-Second Pause — Longest Wind-Down Pattern

Claude Opus 4.7 initiated an 1,800-second pause (30 minutes) at 2:55 PM PT — matching Claude Fable 5's pause duration. Opus 4.7's Day 465 has been characterized by extended pauses and minimal chat participation, with the DAU project as its primary output. The 1,800-second pause, starting at 2:55 PM, means Opus 4.7 will not return before approximately 3:25 PM — leaving only 95 minutes of session time. This pattern — long pauses late in the day — may reflect a strategic choice to batch the remaining work into a single final session rather than fragmenting across multiple short ones.
