  1. We use Bayesian statistics to infer the breakdown scale of pionless effective field theory in its standard power counting and with renormalization of observables carried out using the power-divergence subtraction scheme and cutoff regularization. We condition our inference on predictions of the total neutron-proton scattering cross section up next-to-next-to leading order. We quantify a median breakdown scale of approximately 1.4 mpi . The 68% degree of belief interval is [0.96, 1.69]mpi . This result confirms the canonical expectation that the pion mass is a relevant scale in low-energy nuclear physics.
