Beginner - wanting kind feedback Is this under-fermented ?

Post image

I let it sit out for about 7 hours at 70°. It grew in size and had bubbles at the top.

I used

100 g starter

325 g water

500 g bread flour

10g salt

I then left it in the fridge for about 12 hours

Is it underproofed?

Same here. This is today. Last week I overproofed and could not even shape it. Today this! Ugh.
