Abstract We report on ongoing NICER monitoring observations of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070 (ATel #11399, #11400, #11418, #11423, #11420, #11426). Following a fast rise upon its discovery in March 2018 and an extended hard state plateau, the 0.2-12 keV count rate of the source began a steady decline in mid-May (see link below for light/hardness curves).
