That's what the "max" part prevents -- if your current balance is B and
you try to claim an old state with B' > B for a profit of B'-B, Alice
will instead take 10% of that value.

(Except maybe all the funds they were trying to steal were in P' rather
than B'; so better might have been "A+P + max(0, min(B'+P'-B)*0.1, B)")

Eltoo would enable costless theft attempts (ignoring fees), particularly
for multiparty channels/factories, of course, so getting the game theory
right in advance of that seems worth the effort anyway.
