When it is caused by a different plate movement I guess.

Seems like this isn't the next big one they were anticipating. They were saying within 6 months of the last one, there would be an even bigger one, as the last time, only 1/3 of the fault line was affected. Looks like the big one (which will occur between Banda Aceh and Australia) is still to come.
