Changes in the amount of material reaching the accretion disk boundary layer can drastically modify its structure. We are witnessing such changes in a symbiotic recurrent nova comma T CrB comma for the first time. Two observations with NuSTAR and XMM have revealed that the accretion rate has increased by a factor of about 10 and that the boundary layer has become optically thick. The next step toward our understanding of the current state is to observe T CrB when it returns to its quiescence level comma which may happen during AO19. This ToO observation will allow us to test the idea that nova eruptions in T CrB follow after multi-year periods of enhanced accretion onto the white dwarf due to an accretion disk instability. It will also help us study disk instablity events in large accretion disks.
