It can be all three. I mean she had to have know Tyrion released Jamie (doublecrossing her) and this assumes the bells were a trap and want to lead by fear. They aren’t mutually exclusive.Maybe - I was looking at more like (1) she just lost her ****, which isn't impossible just not that satisfying, or (2) what I'm going with given the context of the season specifically, that she realized in that moment she won, but unlike the other times when she was a hero, the people here aren't going to love her and it's going to be all wine and roses in this empire the way it was in the other one, and if she tried to make that happen it would fail. And since it's going to fail, without love, fear is all she has. So make them fear me.
A better question is what would happen if she did call it off then (both from a logical and storytelling perceptive) especially with Jamie and Cersei presumingly having fled the Red Keep.
In the end, this is Tyrion screwing up again.
