SpaceX Crew-5 launch

For SpaceX’s Crew-5 mission, a Falcon 9 rocket launched the “Endurance” Crew Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina, from the Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on 5 October 2022, at 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT). The “Endurance” Crew Dragon is scheduled to dock to the International Space Station on 6 October 2022, around 20:57 UTC (16:57 EDT). Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage (B1077) landed on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Reminds me of the beginning crew missions that went to build ISS, the expeditions. 5 Crew missions so far, many to go.

Is the first stage lowered throttle at some point then throttled to max, if so why?
