There is? later. It is not systematic: this warning is triggered if imputs are not in the same way, if one pilot don't use priority (disabling other imputs)

Still asleep?
Increase up to 11° (started from 0°) during the sequence 0210:07 -10:18, pitch was low at the begining (likely due to thrust reduction)

Those are the next 7 seconds after my quote above for 0210:18 -10:25.
Manoeuver started at 0210:07, not 11 seconds later.

Is the other (LH5) triggered by aileron input?
Look at straight orange curves: "Spoiler LH6", see both "V" at exact same time: released, retracted. It took less than 10 seconds.
