Hydrolysis is not reversible.
Comment on WTF why my filament exploded?

How quick is quick? I have a heated dry box, so all new filament gets at least a 24 hour spa treatment. If I know it’s wet, it lives in it until color indicating silica gel no longer changes, then another day for good measure.

Was it in an air-tight bag in that box?

They used heat shrink packaging, which doesn’t look very airtight

You didn’t dry it enough. You only dried the outside, the inside was still wet and brittle. Once you used up the dry stuff it broke.
