Google Helpful Content Update Finished On 9/9 But Were Those Fluctuations Related To HCU

The Google helpful content update finished rolling out around 2 pm ET on September 9th. That morning we reported we started to notice more widespread volatility and fluctuations, possibly related to the helpful content update.

I am wondering if the screenshots below are the new featured snippet callouts Google spoke about almost a month ago. You can see bolded callouts, multiple answers for a featured snippet block, and a newish design that looks a bit like the knowledge panel design test we saw earlier.

So if they can avoid getting traffic from the places they do not ship to, that can help reduce those issues.
