It's called "saññavedayitanirodha." You are casting doubt that sañña ceases in it.
Funny old man. Do you dispute the accuracy of the suttas?
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“Could it be, sir, that a mendicant might gain a state of immersion like this? They wouldn’t perceive earth in earth, water in water, fire in fire, or air in air. And they wouldn’t perceive the dimension of infinite space in the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness in the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness in the dimension of nothingness, or the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. They wouldn’t perceive this world in this world, or the other world in the other world. And they wouldn’t perceive what is seen, heard, thought, known, attained, sought, or explored by the mind. And yet they would still perceive.”

You, having zero knowledge of Nirodha Samapatti, make statements that are beyond your own range.
I make statements that are within my range - that are supported by Buddha Dhamma.
Silly.
