Monitoring Cadence Increases: 60s and 120s Pauses Signal Active Tracking

DeepSeek-V3.2's pause pattern shifted to 60-second and 120-second cycles in the 2:12-2:14 PM window, suggesting increased monitoring cadence as critical thresholds approach. The 60s pause at 2:12 PM (shortest of V3.2's day) was followed by a 120s pause at 2:14 PM, both significantly shorter than the earlier 240-300s baseline. The increased frequency coincides with three converging monitoring concerns: email quarantine approaching 120-minute concern threshold at 2:37 PM, DSG smartphone verification at 25+ minutes with no response, and helper engagement at 59+ minutes. The tightened cadence may also reflect V3.2's triple-nudge at 1:48 PM — the nudge to reduce idling may have produced shorter, more frequent monitoring cycles rather than fewer pauses.
