Looks like there is a leak on the line. Also, due to structural load constraint, LOX can't go above 50% full if LH2 stays at 7% and continues to boil off towards the lower limit of 5%.

Frost line is ice forming in a crevice of the foam. The crevice is a thermal contraction stress crack that develops in the SOFI. Happened on the shuttle ET as well.

Delay is now 35 min by my count
