The Planckian relaxation rate $$ℏ/t_P = 2πk_BT$$ sets a characteristic timescale for both the equilibration of quantum critical systems and maximal quantum chaos. In this Rapid Communication, we show that at the critical coupling between a superconducting dot and the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, known to be maximally chaotic, the pairing gap Δ behaves as $$η ℏ/t_P$$ at low temperatures, where $$\eta$$ is an order one constant. In this work, the lower critical temperature emerges with a further increase of the coupling strength so that the finite Δ domain is settled between the two critical temperatures.
