PHAST data yield spatially resolved SFHs across M31's southern disk showing a global recent SFR decline driven by reduced ring activity, with mean rates of 0.445 and 0.285 solar masses per year over the last 100 and 20 Myr.
Here we extend back to 1.2 Gyr, where we can reliably detect the MS turnoff above our completeness limit
