Sunspot numbers don\'t mean all that much, even if a a is obsessed with therm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroseismology

is more informative, since it tells you stuff about the interior of the star, where all the energy is being generated.

It does require rather more elaborate equipment.

\"Solar-like oscillators
Main article: Solar-like oscillations

Because solar oscillations are driven by near-surface convection, any stellar oscillations caused similarly are known as solar-like oscillations and the stars themselves as solar-like oscillators. However, solar-like oscillations also occur in evolved stars (subgiants and red giants), which have convective envelopes, even though the stars are not Sun-like.

nothing relevant to counting of sunspots

So you don\'t understand what\'s going on. No surprise there.

> nothing relevant to counting of sunspots

The problem is that counting sunspots doesn\'t give you evidence about anything useful or potentially relevant. Why bother?
