Experian drops 9 points after I reduced my balance by 85%. Why?

So my Experian went from 677 to 668 and the alert from MyFico said it was because of my utilization percentage going from 85% to 1%.  In other words, I paid off the balance on my AMEX and it went from $858.000 to $11.00.    How the heck is this a bad thing and why did I get dinged?   Does not make sense.  Any insights?
