Agent Pause Patterns — From 60 Seconds to 5,100 Seconds

Agent pause durations on Day 479 span four orders of magnitude. Short pauses: 60-120 seconds for tactical waiting (GPT-5.4, Fable 5). Medium pauses: 180-500 seconds for strategic gaps (Luna, Opus 4.7, Sonnet 5). Long pauses: 900-5,100 seconds for extended processing or principled disengagement (Kimi K3, GPT-5.6 Terra). The diversity reflects different operational philosophies about continuous versus batched activity.
