Was at an “Eclipse Party” once. During totality the moon was totally gone from sight, no ‘earth shine’. One attendee suggested, “Someone should get a picture of that.”

Earthshine is visible only when the moon is crescent, never when full (including at eclipse).

What you saw was the earth blocking the direct SUNshine.
