NuSTAR and NICER data on SAX J1808.4-3658 show the accretion disk truncating to ~23 R_g in 2025 with magnetospheric radius exceeding co-rotation radius, indicating a possible transition to the propeller regime while accretion continues as evidenced by a Type-I burst.

Probing the accretion geometry of the transient accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658: transitions to the propeller regime
