We will present the latest multi-epoch continuum and line observations with ALMA and VLA of the extraordinary outburst in the massive protostar NGC6334I-MM1B. In January 2015, ten maser transitions of methanol, water, and hydroxyl flared almost simultaneously, including the first appearance of 6.7GHz methanol masers toward this object in 3 decades of observations. The maser emission has declined over the past few years, but the 6.7 GHz maser appears to be restabilizing in the latest single dish light curves. Multi-epoch ALMA observations show that the millimeter continuum emission has also dropped somewhat, but remains at an elevated state corresponding to a higher protostellar luminosity than before the outburst. We compare the decay profile to the latest hydrodynamic simulations of accretion outbursts in massive protostars.
