Analysis
Does the breather have an obvious purpose?
Does it reveal something about the setting through descriptive prose? Remember, setting can be a character, so if the story takes place on an island like Hawaii, learning that an earthquake is expected, could be an interesting reveal, but only if the earthquake or the threat of one has some effect on the character behavior in a future scene.
Does it reveal something about character motivation through dialog, introspection, or a flashback?
Is it introducing a subplot?
Is it giving the main character a new dilemna? 
Or on the flip side, have you intentionally removed the opportunity for the character to think about and respond to a new crisis?
How is the length of the breather?
Is the breather short enough that the reader doesn't get bored or lose interest? A breather can last as long as a couple sentences, a couple paragraphs, or a whole scene.
Is the breather long enough to allow the main character enough time to drop back, reevaluate the situation, and ramp back up for the next conflict?
Does the breather also allow the reader to relax and reevaluate or recharge for the next conflict?
What is the sentence structure like?
Are you using longer sentences without rambling?
Are the breathers growing shorter as the story nears the climactic ending?
Are the breathers in the right place?
Have you ended one chapter on a breather and began the very next chapter on another (different) breather?
