As the year progresses, we will move out of the Es season and, hopefully, see some F2 openings. Last autumn I was spotted in the Caribbean on most days on 8m despite using 2.5W FT8 to a low dipole.
If things progress as we can expect, there will be fewer Es openings. Es does not "drop off a cliff", but openings will become smaller and less frequent. There will still be good days, but these will be less often.
