Pulsars usually "pulse" very rapidly and in very short bursts[0]. This one pulses only once every 18 minutes, but in bursts that seem to last for a minute. Some articles mention the possibility of a star-quake which as I _think_ could be caused by either further decay of the magnetar, or the magnetar absorbing more mass [0] - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/physics-and-astronomy/radio-pulsars#:~:text=At%20present%2C%20the%20shortest%20interval%20between%20successive%20pulses%20is%20about%201.5%C3%9710%E2%88%923%20%C2%A0s%20and%20the%20longest%20is%20about%205%C2%A0s https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/physics-and-astronomy/r....
