Irrespective of what 100% is, this is not a friendly option. They should cap the ressources back to 25% and freeze at that level for an agreed length of time, say 5 Min.

Other than the already suggested solution of simulating the expected peak and measuring the resuling percentages I can't think of another method. Even this method could be 'destructive', what'll happen if your simulation goes beyond 25% for more than 90 sec.?
