AB Choraghe et al. (2021), based on a study of the recovery phase of the SYM-H index of 31 extremegeomagnetic storms, have recently concluded that the hyperbolic decay function is only able to explain thecomplete recovery phase of about one third of events and that both the exponential or the hyperbolic decayfunctions fail to explain the late recovery phase of storms. Furthermore, they propose a linear function to modelthe late recovery phase and claim that the proposed model could throw new light on the relative importance ofdifferent physical processes involved during the complete recovery phase of extreme storms. We assert that theChoraghe et al. (2021) conclusions regarding the recovery phase of extreme storms analysis are incorrect andin particular are based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the evolution of the SYM-H index and the energybalance of the ring current.
