Not exactly sure 100%, but isn't "hyperactive" officially the highest classification a season's activity (particularly ACE-wise) could be classified as? "Record-breaking" could mean many things and is a vague term though, from NS count (2020) to ACE (1933) to H count (2005) to hurricane streak (2017, 1893 for example).
Unless explicitly stated, all information covered in my posts is based on my opinions and observations. Please refer to a professional meteorologist or an accredited weather research agency otherwise, especially if serious decisions must be made in the event of a potentially life-threatening tropical storm or hurricane.
