The last reoccurrence was after 80 years in 1946, I wonder why they are expecting it 2 years early?

According to Wikipedia:

In March or April 2023, it dimmed to magnitude 12.3. A similar dimming occurred in the year before the 1946 outburst, indicating that it will likely erupt between April and September 2024.
