Loop and Trio now talk to the DASH pod once per 5-minute CGM cycle, so the pod heartbeat arrives every 5 minutes, and the loop app skips pod communication on some cycles. DASH now uses the same 5-minute expectation as Dexcom for the background inactivity alerts and the connection status colors, and a DASH beat counts as a dropout only when it is more than 12.5 minutes after the previous one, so a single skipped cycle is normal. For all heartbeat devices the dropout banner clears once the last hour has at most one dropout, so a steady low rate of late beats doesn't keep an old warning up. The expected delay for DASH stays shown as "up to" the interval, since the beat follows the loop app's pod communication rather than the pod's advertising, and the setting's help text says every 5 minutes.
