Anyone actively trading NG, see the market stop trading in the midst of the insanity today at 1:29PM ET for a full minute?
CME Price limit of 10% from reference price of 9.293 was not reached.
Did the exchange falter, or deliberately halt trading? Biggest buying volume of the day came in immediately following the stop in trading, and stopped the decline.
Verified on 4 different data feeds, no trading during that minute.
Anyone know how to find out what happened exactly?

I believe the answer is Dynamic Circuit Breakers ("DBC") uses a 60 minute lookback. The high trade between 12:29 and 1:28 (Eastern) was $9.623 at 12:36. DBC today was 10% of the previous settlement price which is $0.929 so the level at which the circuit breaker kicks in is $9.623 (not $9.293) - $0.929 = $8.694 which was hit at 1:28 hence the circuit breaker.
"At this time, completion of all necessary repairs and a return to full plant operations is not expected until late 2022. Given the relatively contained area of the facility physically impacted by the incident, a resumption of partial operations is targeted to be achieved in approximately 90 days"
With something like this (Event and then this move), one could already start to talk about the topic of "conspiracy theories". I omit this here however times.
Germany announces bailout for Gazprom Germania to secure gas supply
The German government said on Tuesday it plans to pump billions of euros into Gazprom Germania in order to prevent the natural gas company from going bankrupt and to secure the country's gas supplies.
The bailout will amount to between €9 billion and €10 billion ($9.4 billion and $10.4 billion), according to dpa sources, and will come via the state development bank KfW.
Gazprom Germania is no longer part of Gazprom after the Russian state-owned firm separated from its German subsidiary on April 1.

No the quoted Freeport LNG outage update was the cause of the move. The Freeport LNG outage was initially said to be 4 weeks, now they say 90 days. That's approximately 130 BCF gas that will now be staying in the US that was expected to be exported.
