He did not state his reasons that he was going to cave to the press and public the morning of the vote.

He did not use the filibuster to allow his party to talk.

He could have had a “timed” filibuster to end at 11PM that was agreed upon by his party. Would any talk persuade the other party to agree to amendments to the bill to take out any cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? It would show which party supported the people.

He did not ask for an extension before the vote of another week to try to make this budget more palatable and ethical and reach terms of an agreement.

In short, yes, he caved.
