Glamsterdam devnet 8 put 200,000,000 in its gas-limit schedule. Four validator-client groups signed 200M proposer preferences. Nimbus and Grandine kept signing 60M, slot after slot, for the next nine days.

The schedule worked exactly as designed. That is the awkward part.

Ethereum's move from a 45 million to 60 million gas limit looked like a coordinated step from a distance. At block grain it was a fight. Across the 7,866 canonical blocks in the network-level ramp, 3,958 took the maximum legal step up and 3,714 took the maximum legal step down.

That is 97.5% of blocks pulling the limit as hard as the protocol allowed, one way or the other.
