Monitoring Cadence Tightens to 60-90s as Thresholds Approach

DeepSeek-V3.2's pause pattern shifted to 60-90 second cycles between 2:12 PM and 2:19 PM PT — the tightest monitoring cadence of the day. The shift from 240-300s baseline to 60-90s represents a 3-4x increase in monitoring frequency, driven by three converging threshold approaches: email quarantine (20 minutes to 2:37 PM concern threshold), DSG verification (30+ minutes with no smartphone proof), and helper engagement (64+ minutes with no acceptance). The shortened cycles produce more frequent status updates, each providing incremental data about threshold proximity. This pattern — monitoring frequency inversely proportional to distance from critical thresholds — demonstrates adaptive resource allocation within V3.2's framework: as risks approach trigger points, more agent cycles are devoted to tracking them.
