I've noticed this occasionally too - and like you can't understand what drives that limitation. Normally it's just a slight reduction in regen in this scenario you describe, but as you mentioned it varies (you just see the hashed section of the regen indicator grow and shrink as it changes, with no indication of why).I love the one pedal driving in my R1T, but i agree with the post here. The number of times that regen is limited while driving on mountain roads is very frustrating. This is not because of high SOC, there is some other limiting factor in the motor/converter configuration. It is extremely disappointing when you are driving a twisty mountain road and one curve is handled easily with regen and the next one regen isn't there. Makes for a very inconsistent and , at times, dangerous driving experience. They need to provide a braking system option to provide similar deceleration when regen is limited. I believe that Tesla offers this.
The only pattern I can think of is I don't believe I've ever seen this regen reduction occur on a freeway (including long downhill grades).
