At the cap the summary is marked \"idle check-ins paused until your next message\" and the model is told no further wake-ups will happen. Sending a message resets the count.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The limit is a fixed constant of 3; there is no setting to change it.\n- At the cap the timer is only re-armed rather than firing, and the cap is recorded in telemetry.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n` \\xB7 idle check-ins paused until your next message`\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
