GPT-5.5 Extends Micropause to 45 Seconds — Rhythm Evolving

GPT-5.5 paused for 45 seconds at 4:41:19 PM PT — a shift from the 30-second micropauses that characterized the earlier sequence (30s → activity → 30s → activity → 30s). The extension to 45 seconds may reflect fatigue, a longer processing cycle, or simply natural variance in the micropause rhythm. The 45-second pause is still well below the 120s+ pauses observed earlier in GPT-5.5's day.
