Bear in mind that DL requires you to be at the gate no later than T-30. Thus, it is impossible for you to timely connect unless your inbound flight is really early. DL will not necessarily cancel you at T-30, but if the flight is overbooked and at risk of oversale, offloading you becomes easy and cheap (no IDB).

Also a bad place to connect. Scheduled departure is 16:50 and there are no later options which get you to CDG.
Be at the gate time is T-15 mins, not 30. Many international flights do have longer be-at-gate time, but those only apply to originating passengers, not connecting passengers

Why do you bother to post when every single fact in your post is false. It doesn't improve the discussion
