Well flow regime with constant rate and constant delta pressure between wellbore and formation does not change in time:

\Delta p(t) = | p_e(t) - p_{wf}(t) | = \Delta p = \rm const |
The exact solution of diffusion equation for PSS:

p_{wf}(t) = p_e(t) + J^{-1} q_t |
where

varying formation pressure at the external reservoir boundary |
and develops a unit slope on PTA diagnostic plot and Material Balance diagnostic plot.
During the PSS regime the formation pressure linearly declines
