Regen limiting can happen at FAR lower SoCs than 80%. I started out at 55% SoC and went up a steep hill. Was at around 50% SoC coming back down. Eventually, I noticed that regen was being limited. Not a lot, and not really noticeable when driving, but when I looked at the meter, the left most portion was a dotted line and if the hill got steep enough, it would hit that line and go no further. It's not only the charge level that can limit it (obviously at higher charge levels, it will always be limited, and at 100%, it will never regen at all), but if you push too much energy into the battery too quickly, it will throttle back the amount of regen. I think this is probably similar to how it throttles back the charge rate during supercharging, starting at 20% SoC and getting progressively lower and lower as the SoC rises.
