Welp, she's dead. I jinxed it.

Darn 😂

It’s odd actually. We just had a period of tons of solar activity, with more ARs than we’ve had since the peak of the last SC, and almost constant minor flaring. 
And yet, no significant Earth-directed CMEs or Geomagnetic storming at all!

like why does that happen 😂

Don’t forget that you only need one very magnetically complex region to make wonderfully CME’s. When you have too much regions on the disk, it often lacks huge solar flares too, strongest solar flares often occur after solar max and not during solar max because of that. 
active periods will come and go and one more active than the other. It’s the unpredictability of the Sun that’s the cause 😉

Wait what? So too many regions = lacking of solar flares and not enough regions = lack of flares.  But just right = flares. Huh...that's weird logic.

In solar max, when there are plenty of regions, they can still produce moderate to strong solar flares but not the biggest ones. Having too many regions can cause that a sunspot region can’t develop to a huge region if there are nearby regions. That’s why I say that you only need one big region to make it work, and not a lot of regions but with barely anything great magnetically speaking.

Oh ok. That makes sense. I guess I just read your post wrong or something. Lol.
