So, hopefully, the human race has learned enough from this to share knowledge so it isn't lost entirely during the next cataclysm or many cataclysms like Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis or nukes going off.
If scientific knowledge is spread evenly enough among all mankind there need be no time when we have to sink back to no technology at all ever again.
Question:
How many people could survive now on earth without modern technology at present?
I'm thinking the number would have to be 200 million to 1 billion people worldwide maximum.
This is likely all that could survive without technology. This is one reason why a solar storm of the size of the Carrington event is so serious (at least for half the planet hit by it).
Although maybe it is possible for a solar event to last 24 hours or more in which case most electronics on earth could be gone during that period of time.

Solar storm of 1859 - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859
The solar storm of 1859 (also known as the Carrington Event)
was a powerful geomagnetic solar storm during solar cycle 10
(1855–1867). A solar coronal mass ejection hit Earth's magnetosphere and
induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record, September 1–2,
1859.
