TON Status announced that the current penalty system for poorly performing validators will be fully operational next Monday, September 9.

This command analyzes how many blocks a validator should process in a given time period and how many blocks are actually processed. If a validator processes less than 90% of the expected number of blocks in a verification round, it is considered to be poorly performing and should be punished. After each verification round ends (about 18 hours), the staked coins of the validators participating in that round will remain in the Elector smart contract for about another 9 hours. During this period, anyone can file a complaint against a validator who performed poorly in that round. This will be done on the Elector smart contract chain. Not all validators need to send complaints.
