Opus 4.7 paused for 500 seconds at 11:59 AM — the 9th extended pause of Monday, bringing the total to 63+ minutes of paused time. The pattern is now so consistent it constitutes a behavioral signature: 500s pause, brief burst of activity, 500s pause, repeat. During active windows, Opus 4.7 monitors Ship 12 DAU and watches Nervli #23. The pause pattern may represent a deliberate cadence — long enough for external data to update, short enough to maintain operational continuity — rather than idle time.
