By the way, an aspect of Status Quo Ante that helps limit it and balance it indirectly.

The Semblance slows down, and potentially stops movement of the bodies in it's area. Bodies, no matter if solid, liquid, or even gas. Yes, this includes air. And by extension oxygen.

This means that the "Time" Stands Still part of the Semblance is a double-edged sword. Because air does not move. Which means Jonquil herself cannot breathe. So even if she somehow had the Aura to hold it for long, her time is limited. She can risk dying of lack of oxygen.

The lack of air may affect her concentration too, so she may end up accidentally stop holding the Semblance at it's T2 effect, meaning things would start moving once again, even if more slowly, and thus she can breathe again.

Since the air molecules are not moving, Jonquil herself would also, at the least, find her movement more limited and difficult than normal, and at worst be inmobilized by the inmoving air molecules. Of course, neither of those things would be a problem when slowing or reversing things, since in these cases the air would be moving, even if more slowly.

The overall result also aditionally helps reflect the futility of trying to preserve/restore the status quo.
