It's been 6 weeks, and he's clearly moved past my query in his queue. There are other agents at the agency I want to query, so I'm declaring this a pass.
Good luck everyone!

This form rejection makes it sound like he's closed to queries, and the fact that it was sent from the assistant gives me pause.
"Thank you for the opportunity to read your submission. Unfortunately, you have come to us at a time when Paul Lucas is inundated with requests for assistance and representation. The need to allocate his time effectively forces us to decline participation in many worthy projects, and, regretfully, that must be the decision in this case as well.
We are very sorry not to be able to help you with this project but please accept my best wishes for you in your search for representation."

According to her new listing in QT she's now a junior agent at Transatlantic. So if she did request your full, she may still be considering it for her list at her new agency.
I hope no one else is waiting around to hear from her. Pretty disappointed as fulls are always a gut-wrenching roller coaster to begin with, but to find out that she's left the agency without notifying those she'd requested from is disheartening. Wish I'd known sooner.

Does anyone know if Brenna English-Loeb is still with the agency? I don't see her name on the website, but she requested my full a few months ago. I don't want to nudge her as it's only been 2 months, but at the same time, if she's no longer with them I'd be keen to try querying this agency again. Thanks!
