What is the devolvement margin on commodity options?

As an in-the-money commodity option nears expiry, SAHI blocks a devolvement margin because the option will convert into a margin-bearing futures position. It ramps up over the last couple of days before expiry (for example 25% two days before, 50% one day before, 100% on expiry day). You're notified so you can add funds or exit.
