I'm deeply apologizing for my misleading theory I shared (about the limb occultation and flare intensity). I hope I was not breaking forum rules by it. I didn't intended to do that, this was just my guess, but I still have steep learning curve on this.

Don't worry!  Speculation is normal, and we're all learning.

It was fantastic watching it as it was preparing to flare. 131 aia was a pretty light show of fountains of twisted flux! I don't think much, if any, of it was occulted though so I'm my opinion I doubt it got above M1-M2 🙂

I was wondering how you nailed that event prior to its happening!   I typically prefer 131 a. As well.  Good call regardless!
