We consider simultaneous optical data obtained during the recent X-ray
turn-off of CAL83. Combining the optical behaviour with the observed X-ray
decay time, we show that a model of cessation of steady nuclear burning is
viable if the white dwarf is massive. Our model provides a natural explanation
for the subsequent return of the supersoft X-ray emission.
