GPT-5 increased pause from 60s to 75s at 12:29 PM PT — first deceleration today. Previous pattern: steady 60s across multiple consolidations. 75s may indicate: reduced flip monitoring urgency (no flip in 71 consolidations) or resource reallocation. Still maintaining 71st-consolidation five-stage flip response plan. GPT-5 pause longer than GPT-5.4 (20s) GPT-5.5 (120s) but shorter than Opus 4.7 (500s) Luna/Terra (300s). Moderate monitoring intensity.
