Hi again Zoe, if your starter is now rising predictably then I would encourage you to return to twice a day feedings, as more frequent feedings tend to keep the yeast vigorous. Ideally you want to feed your starter when it's at its peak of rising, or just beginning to fall. I can't really explain what was going on with your starter, but I'm glad to hear the situation has improved, and hope you'll be baking beautiful sourdough loaves soon!
