Look at your rolling 4-hour average vs your MSUs used. If Softcap is in place, you can see spikes that go above the 4-hour average for the true MSUs used if you are hitting capacity. If you have a hardcap, then you will never go over your configured capacity. Of course, this is post processing and only after you have hit the capacity limit. I'm not aware of a way to tell up front.

However I did not phrase my question very well. What I'd really like to determine is whether the image capacity figure is from a soft cap or a hard cap, regardless of whether a cap is in effect.
