Will aserti3-2d DAA result in a mini ice-age starting Nov-15?

Whilst my opinion is that ASERT-based DAA's are the best class of DAA's out there, it should be known that they achieve their results through exponential and unbounded difficulty adjustments based on the absolute schedule of the next block number.

So given that BCH is currently 32 days ahead of schedule, will this 32 day drift result in an exponential increase in difficulty on Nov-15 to bring it back on schedule?

From my own tests on ASERT, I've seen what exponential adjustments look like -- it responds really fast! That means it speeds up quickly when it needs to and grinds to a halt when it needs to.

Does this mean BCH will experience a mini (or near-mini) ice-age for 32 days?

If ABC decided to change their DAA at last minute to avoid such ice-age, could this not cause some problems re "most-work" chain?

Just asking.
