Just check your temps closely Kim. Your plant will still be acclimating, having been repotted then being moved to another location again. Feel the soil. We all have our different micro climates..so what works for some may not work for your set-up. I have learned to err on the side of caution. When I see my plants dropping their leaves, I let it be and just allow it to sleep. My house temps once with heater running I just keep it at 68F and humidity is at 45% so it just lulls them to sleep. And my plants are by a south facing window in winter. The combination of low temps and shorter light in winter, is bed time for these plants. I bought a weather station too so I can monitor indoors and outdoors temps and humidity. From time to time I also try to feel the caudex, as long as it feels firm, then it is okay.

From what I have seen too, if the stem/caudex is still more green and with a thin layer of bark, for sure it is very cold sensitive, but if it is a bit more mature and that bark is more of a harder bark/shell it is ably withstanding even up to 45F.
