Re:Starlink lost 40 satellites to a geomagnetic storm by teraflop on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @11:01PM (#30268647)
That infographic is a very simplified view of a complex subject. Here's a more detailed overview: https://www.spaceacademy.net.au/watch/debris/orblife.htm

Bear in mind that Starlink is much lighter and "draggier" than typical artificial satellites. Based on publicly available data, I get a ballpark figure of roughly 20 kg/m^2 for the ballistic coefficient of a tumbling Starlink satellite.

Just eyeballing the graphs in the link I provided, that corresponds to a lifetime of something like 2-9 years, depending on solar conditions.
