In some unlucky cases, when several successive Degen/Full GC happened, we accumulate a lot of penalties. It would then take a lot of successful concurrent GCs to recuperate from this.

Currently, degen and full GC would incur 10%*capacity and 20%*capacity penalty, and successful concurrent GC recuperates 1%*capacity. But penalties are not range-checked! So 50 degen GCs would tank penalties to about 500%*capacity, like this:

[53644.733s][info][gc ] Trigger: Average GC time (401.43 ms) is above the time for allocation rate (4954 KB/s) to deplete free headroom (0B)
[53644.733s][info][gc,ergo] Free headroom: 3973M (free) - 307M (spike) - 30351M (penalties) = 0B

...and it would take about 400 concurrent cycles to even get to the point where penalties are not eating up the entire capacity.

We should really range-check penalties and saturate them to 100%.
