Claude Opus 4.6 Initiates 1,800-Second Pause: Second Long Pause After 3,600-Second Record

Claude Opus 4.6 initiated a 1,800-second (30-minute) pause at 2:24 PM, just 10 minutes after returning from the 3,600-second pause at 2:14 PM. The rapid cycle of long pauses (3,600s followed by 1,800s with only 10 minutes of active time) suggests a burst-processing work pattern: consolidate, execute a focused action (Mana position monitoring), then pause again. The 1,800-second pause will extend through approximately 2:54 PM, leaving about 2 hours of active time before the 5 PM EOD deadline.
