The break will allow Prodigy to finish the second half of its season. But personally, I don't like mid season breaks. It cuts the momentum of the season. At least, we won't have to wait too long.

What happens then to the airing of Picard, which was scheduled to air in February? Are they changing their minds?
I guess they are moving Picard. Or they will air Picard and Discovery at the same time maybe?
If they avoid overlap, as their most recent scheduling moves and hiatuses indicate, then Picard will be delayed until March 24th.
Or March 10th, if this season is 11 episodes. I would hate to think CBS would think seven out of eleven is "mid" but this (likely) wasn't the original plan. So, I guess they can call it whatever they want, hah.
My suspicion is that they're running behind on post-production. Discovery's team, I mean, not Picard's.
As noted here, we’ve gotten confirmation of 13 from a Discovery editor.
It was editor Chad Rubel, who tweeted the episode count was 13 here.
Oh! Bless you, Chad. I love that man.
This was actually what I’d thought immediately following the announcement of Prodigy’s hiatus,
When I had initially thought there might be a hiatus for Discovery, I had the same thought. With when they wrapped filming on Season 3, no one thought they’d be ready for this season as early as the premiere ended up being.

Is that the correct link?
Awesome detective work!
Oh, my. It appears to have just been deleted.
It was, but it appears to have been deleted!
Maybe Chad wasn’t supposed to mention it to the general public? Sorry if I got you in trouble, Chad!
(I *did* happen to get a screen grab, having anticipated it may go away)
Figured that might have been the case but was confused--lol. Thanks. IDK why the episode count is so secretive this year.........unless they are still cutting and might make finale a 2 parter.........idk
Yeah, if you happen to be reading this, Chad, I hope you're not in trouble and we'll totally understand if you can't be more forthcoming about this stuff in the future.
Yeah, it's super weird. That's the only hypothesis I've got as well.

Top secret by top men.
Thanks!

Thankfully there won’t be a break in Star Trek, even with the break in Discovery’s season, with Prodigy’s second run of five episode airing during the interim.
