When did Satan fall out of the Grace of God?

Woke up this morning with the realization that what came to mind yesterday gave me a hint of a closer answer to this BIG question.
Yesterday I was reminiscing about the close of the book of Jubilees. I couldn't remember when it ended in history. So, I looked it up.
It ended with the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus).
As I wrote in the post 'His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven', I estimated a time frame of nearly 2,000 years.
But now it is within 80 years.
Between the year 2363, Job, the birth of Moses, and the Exodus, or during the Exodus (year 2448).
In the book of Jubilees, Satan is also called Mastema.

Jubilees 48

8 And YAHWEH did everything for Yisrael's sake, and according to His covenant, which he had ordained with Abraham that He would take vengeance on them as they had brought them by force into bondage.
9 And the prince Mastema stood up against you, and sought to cast you into the hands of Pharaoh, and he helped the Egyptian sorcerers,
10 And they stood up and wrought before you the evils indeed we permitted them to work, but the remedies we did not allow to be wrought by their hands.
11 And YAHWEH smote them with malignant ulcers, and they were not able to stand, for we destroyed them so that they could not perform a single sign.
12 And notwithstanding all (these) signs and wonders the prince Mastema was not put to shame because he took courage and cried to the Egyptians to pursue after you with all the powers of the Egyptians, with their chariots, and with their horses, and with all the hosts of the peoples of Egypt.
13 And I stood between the Egyptians and Yisrael, and we delivered Yisrael out of his hand, and out of the hand of his people, and YAHWEH brought them through the midst of the sea as if it were dry land.
14 And all the peoples whom he brought to pursue after Yisrael, YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler cast them into the midst of the sea, into the depths of the abyss beneath the children of Yisrael, even as the people of Egypt had cast their children into the river He took vengeance on 1,000,000 of them, and one thousand strong and energetic men were destroyed on account of one suckling of the children of your people which they had thrown into the river.
15 And on the fourteenth day and on the fifteenth and on the sixteenth and on the seventeenth and on the eighteenth the prince Mastema was bound and imprisoned behind the children of Yisrael that he might not accuse them.
16 And on the nineteenth we let them loose that they might help the Egyptians and pursue the children of Yisrael.
17 And he hardened their hearts and made them stubborn, and the device was devised by YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler that He might smite the Egyptians and cast them into the sea.
18 And on the fourteenth we bound him that he might not accuse the children of Yisrael on the day when they asked the Egyptians for vessels and garments, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze, in order to despoil the Egyptians in return for the bondage in which they had forced them to serve.
19 And we did not lead forth the children of Yisrael from Egypt empty handed.

Satan (prince Mastema) was already a Rebel, when the Passover and the Red Sea crossing occurred, as he had to be temporarily bound and imprisoned.
Also, worthy of notice, the angel said: "we let them loose".  Mastema was not alone, as he still is not alone to this day: 21 devils in all.

Lucifer reference in the Bible

Source Bible Hub:
The name "Lucifer" appears only once in the Bible, its association with Satan and the broader theological implications have made it a significant topic in Christian doctrine and cultural discourse.
The name "Lucifer" is derived from the Latin word "lucifer," meaning "light-bringer" or "morning star." This term is traditionally associated with a passage in the Book of Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 14:12, which in the Berean Standard Bible reads: "How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations." The Hebrew term "helel ben shachar" is translated as "day star" or "morning star," and the Latin Vulgate rendered it as "Lucifer."
Isaiah 14 is a prophetic taunt against the king of Babylon, using vivid imagery to describe his downfall. The passage has been interpreted by many Christian theologians as a dual reference, addressing both the historical king and a more profound spiritual reality concerning the fall of a celestial being.

Isaiah 14

Fall of the King of Babylon
3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve,
4 that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: “How the oppressor has ceased, The golden city ceased!
5 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of the rulers;
6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, He who ruled the nations in anger, Is persecuted and no one hinders.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet; They break forth into singing.
8 Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, And the cedars of Lebanon, Saying, ‘Since you were cut down, No woodsman has come up against us.’
9 “Hell from beneath is excited about you, To meet you at your coming; It stirs up the dead for you, All the chief ones of the earth; It has raised up from their thrones All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall speak and say to you: ‘Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is spread under you, And worms cover you.’
The Fall of Lucifer
12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 “Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
18 “All the kings of the nations, All of them, sleep in glory, Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave Like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, Thrust through with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial, Because you have destroyed your land And slain your people. The brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children Because of the iniquity of their fathers, Lest they rise up and possess the land, And fill the face of the world with cities.”
Babylon Destroyed
22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts, “And cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, And marshes of muddy water; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts.

My thoughts:

The book of Isaiah never once mentioned Satan. Satan is mentioned in the book of Job for the first time in the Bible. At a time when Satan was still able to have audience with God Almighty. That would be around the year 2,363 and that would make the book of Job the oldest book of the Bible or Tanakh.
Is Satan the only devil on the earth? I would say not. From my understanding, that would be 21 of them: Enoch's 200 who descended on Mt Hermon, reduced to 1/10 of them in Jubilees 10, plus Satan. BLACKJACK!
So, Lucifer if he is not a man (Nebuchadnezzar), could the name be of another fallen angel, another devil?
Angels are often referred to Sons of God. And we know there is a plethora of different types of angels, all created by God, and all immortal, unless...
Unless God destroys them. There is one instance of a Cherubim who was destroyed by God. One who paraded as a King and called himself a god: the king of Tyre.
We also know that After Babel, God scattered the nations and set their borders according to the number of the sons of God. (Deuteronomy 32:8). See also: The World is Under Angelic Rulers.
How many fallen angels (principalities; princes of darkness), are named in the Bible?
Satan (ruler of the world); King of Tyre (destroyed by God); possibly Lucifer; prince of Persia; prince of Greece (whom was none other than Satan); Gog prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; Azazel (the scapegoat of Leviticus 16)...
It seems we only have the names of 6 of them. Could there be less than the initially thought 21? Why did God have the fallen angels thrown into the pit, but 4 of them are bound in the river Euphrates? Could it be they were too dangerous to be left under Satan?
Four bound, one destroyed, let's assume that it leaves us with 16 devils.

Side note. Famously materialized?
Satan: Zeus; King of Tyre: Poseidon; Azazel: appearence of a standing goat.
