Nous/PPR submission window?

In our newest "how can we help you?" thread, a reader asks:

Do people know when Nous and PPR close submissions, or around when? Trying (and almost certainly failing!) to plan in advance.

Another reader seconded the question, and it's a good one. For those of you who may not know, Nous and PPR close temporarily for new submissions each year, a moratorium that usually lasts until November. I'm not sure when they tend to begin the moratorium. Do any of you know?

[not so special person]

My sense is that the moratoriums are triggered by reaching the capacity for processing submissions. So it is not a fixed date. I do not have inside knowledge, but I have published in Nous. If I recall correctly, I was invited to submit a revision AFTER the moratorium started - but because I was in process, the moratorium did not affect my paper. In fact, if I recall correctly, the revised paper was accepted in days (yes, days!). (Of note, I am no one of particular importance, so I was not getting any sort of special treatment (well, my mom things I super-special))

My vague sense is that they accept new submissions about half the time--from Mid-November through mid-May or so. But as noted above, I don't think these are fixed dates.

it varies. they have stopped accepting new submissions in February before but it is often later in March. It happens without warning as far as i can tell.

Late February or March, I think. There is no warning.
