Actually that had been my first inclination. I had increased the minimum
level because I thought it was lower than the safe limit (under which no
writes are done and state is not saved), but I've checked more thoroughly
and I was mistaken. The unsafe level is player-specific but it appears to
generally be quite a bit lower than 5%.

So I've now added the 5% warning.

Glad it'll be useful.

There is an option (only it's off by default).
