From observations, it does not hold a "memory" of the over-boost, so it's not as if lifting your foot before the 10" results in a limited amount of time that you can re-use it. It practically resets itself with every lift, so you can have OB (over-boost) for say 8", lift, and immediately repeat. If you see the boost gauge showing anything over 2bar (that's incl. atmospheric) it's in OB. Standard boost values should be below 2bar, OB is up to 2.2 (it's that extra 0.2bar we are talking about).
However, after extensive testing when I had the Jb4 and logged what boost the ECU wants to make under various scenarios it does seem to have a mind on its own. Sometimes it will come on before you even reach the end of the pedal travel, others you've gone as far as hitting the kick-down switch but it will only make standard boost. Maybe it's load dependent (how much power you ask under which road conditions) but it is definitely not consistent. What is also certain is that it comes on completely un-noticed, you don't a kick forward or anything, it's practically impossible to say if it's on or off without looking at data.
One of the (actually the single) most irritating thing about the car (as stock). Thankfully a remap takes care of that marketing crap and gives you full power at all times
