loss look like:

That's very odd, if true. Westwood+ should still be increasing the
congestion window additively after recovering, so even if it got the
bandwidth or latency estimates wrong, it should still recover full
performance. Not necessarily very quickly, but it should still be visible
on a timescale of several seconds.

More likely is that you're conflating cause and effect. The packet is only
lost when the boost ends, so if for some reason the boost never ends, the
packet is never lost.
