Strictly speaking, the active utilisation must be updated when a task

you cannot decrease the active utilisation immediately: you have to wait

utilisation").
The active utilisation must not be updated when a task is throttled: a
task is throttled when its current runtime is 0, so it already used all
of its utilisation for the current period (think about two tasks with
runtime=50ms and period 100ms: they consume 100% of the time on a CPU,
and when the first task consumed all of its runtime, you cannot decrease
the active utilisation).

Hehe, this reminds me of the lag tracking in EEVDF/WF2Q/BFQ etc., that
had similar issues.
