Mass accretion rates and MAD parameters of aM94b100, aM94b200, aM94b400, and aM94b800, which are simulations with the same initial conditions, but different initial magnetic field strengths. In the left panel, we show the mass accretion rates. The stronger the initial magnetization (the smaller β 0), the faster the increase in mass accretion rate. After t = 1.5 × 104 t g , the mass accretion rates agree across all simulations. In the right panel, the MAD parameters of these simulations are shown to be consistent with each other after t = 1.5 × 104 t g . However, the time required to reach the MAD state is clearly different.
