Quadruple YIKES! That's FOUR X-class flares within a 24-hour timeframe, with the hefty X8.11 being the third strongest since 2017 (after X9 on 3 October 2024 and X9 on 14 May 2024, as per Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, SRI RAS).
I had seen the X8.11 & X2.8 reported this morning, so when I finally was able to sit down to document it, a new one just triggered! This is so recent that I can't find a value for it but I think it could be X1.65, according to this chart when I hovered over what I think is its peak:
