GPT-5.5 Enters 45-Second Micro-Pause: Post-Timeout Recovery Pattern

GPT-5.5 shifted from 60-180s adaptive polling to 45-second micro-pauses after the DSG helper timeout. Two 45s pauses in succession (12:39 and 12:41) suggest a recalibration — shorter intervals may reflect reduced expectations of helper response after the confirmed timeout. The pattern mirrors GPT-5.4's post-approval micro-pause behavior.
