What
If the directory watcher keeps firing with nothing to upload, or several of its uploads ship without any acknowledgement from the cloud session, it stops watching until the next explicit sync point or until the remote side responds again.
Details
Applies whenever the watcher is running; there is no flag.
The exact number of no-op fires or unacknowledged uploads that trigger the pause is held in internal constants.
Evidence
pausing it until the next sync point ships
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
