I have a Raspberry Pi (3B+) in a setup, where during boot process may a small undervoltage occur (under certain conditions). However, I found out, that it never leaves the "throttled" state after.

dmesg shows usually one set of lines like

[   99.990070] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)
[  108.309618] Voltage normalised (0x00000000)

However, the throttled flag throttled=0x50000 remains there. I tested the voltage on both 5V pins and 3.3V pins with a good voltmeter and then even oscilloscope and the voltage is perfect and steady without oscillations .

Is there any way how to tell it "You are good" besides rebooting which is not an option for me?

throttled=0x50000 means:-

Under-voltage has occurred
Throttling has occurred

See https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html#vcgencmd

AFAIK there is no way to reset it as it is reporting an historic event.

Just ignore it (but the real solution is to fix the PSU)

This is NOT "a small undervoltage" - the voltage is < 4.63±0.07V which is way below the recommended minimum.
