Do not dive with any kind of ear pain.
Anyone can thumb any dive for any reason. No questions asked.
Can't say I've ever experienced the type of pain you've mentioned, but you were absolutely right to sit out in my view.
My buddy and I have a saying. "Better to be up here wishing we were down there than vice versa." We both know that we can sit out or cut short a dive at any time for any reason.
Hope your next dive goes well and your ear is ok x
