New Pause on Lag system making the game unplayable

I currently have a somewhat unstable, high latency (140+ as base) connection and the newly implemented pause on lag system is making the game completely unplayable.

Since my connection in fairly constantly going between 140 and 800ms its constantly pausing in game, the effect is like playing a slideshow or like the graphics card has a really bad stutter. I get around the lag normally by playing a more survivable build (RF Chief) and using predictive network setting over lockstep.

If anyone knows a way to disable the new pause on lag function or know if theres tweaks coming from ggg for it I'd appreciate anything.
Right now i'd normally be in yellow maps, currently I haven't even made it to Merveil.

I agree. Can we just keep pausing to the escape window....i play normally on 140ms but now i can barely play with all the random pausing
