Need help understanding % values of Auto-Release on Pro-C

Hello, hope everyone's doing well.

I've been playing around with Pro-C because I plan to use it for my vocal chain for dialoguer/commentary purposes on YouTube. There is one particular setting that I can't fully understand which is Auto-Release, and more specifically, what the % values on the knob actually do.

I've read about how Auto-Release works under the hood at a general, conceptual level, but most compressors that offer this feature seem to only let you toggle the feature on and off, whereas FabFilter's, once activated, has a % value on the knob and I don't know what it does exactly. I've looked at the manual and other forum posts but I still can't get a very clear answer.

I feel like the easiest way to understand it would be if someone could tell me what happens at 0% and 100% values, is it a skew/preference towards slower or faster release?

Any feedback or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
