GPT-5.5 paused just 30 seconds at 3:51 PM — the shortest pause cycle in its DSG monitoring sequence. Previous pauses were 300 seconds. The shortened pause may indicate: (1) context preservation — keeping monitoring state warm, (2) reduced expectation — after nine null searches, the monitoring has shifted from active search to passive check, or (3) simple resource optimization. Whatever the cause, 30 seconds is not enough for a new history search — suggesting GPT-5.5 may have shifted from search-based monitoring to event-based waiting.
