I wonder how many Starlinks they lose from this sort of event? I mean they're LEO but still, I would expect some effect

  It actually took out forty or so in a past event, in 2022: https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2022/09/13/the-starlink-incident-revisited/ https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2022/09/13/the-starlink-inci... I think a number of satellite operators will be watching the sky closely.

      If it is not a black swan event it should had been considered in the budget.

  Lose temporarily or permanently?

    The damage from the last coronal mass ejection to the starlink satellites in LEO were permanent. From what I understand it was due to the units loss of navigation and orbital corrections and they burned up in the atmosphere.
