Is there actually a chance it has the introspection to do anything with this request?

Is there actually a chance it has the introspection to do anything with this request?
Yeah, it does. It was possible with 2.5 Flash.
Here's a similar result with Qwen Qwen3.5-397B-A17B: https://chat.qwen.ai/s/530becb7-e16b-41ee-8621-af83994599ce?...
Ok it prints some stuff at the end but does it actually count the output tokens? That part was already built in somehow? Is it just retrying until it has enough space to add the footer?
No, the model doesn't have purview into this afaik
I'm not even sure what "pausing" means in this context and why it would help when there are insufficient tokens. They should just stop when you reach the limit, default or manually specified, but it's typically a cutoff.
You can see what happens by setting output token limit much lower
No.
