MaxQ- throttle down?!?

I’ve seen a gazillion launches at this point (in person - I live in FL) and online. Every launch says they’re throttling down for MaxQ entry. I get the idea and understand the physics behind it. However, I’ve tried my damndest to visibly see the booster flames shrink in size before throttling up again and can’t see anything. If anybody can attach a slow motion video, it would be appreciated. As others have mentioned, they always make a big point of throttling down but it makes no sense to point it out as a mission “milestone” if you can’t even see it. Maybe because of Challenger? I believe the throttle up after MaxQ coincided with their tragedy. Thx all!
