Vertical writing-mode figcaption refuses to shrink past certain point

Got a banner component with a vertical figcaption (thanks designers). It's normally part of a bigger component, but I simplified it for the issue display (so excuse any seemingly unneccessary extra tags and classes). The figcaption should always take up a % of the parent's height (=the image height). I can't hardcode any sizes, as all content comes from a cms and is only known at runtime. Things work, but the figcaption refuses to shrink past a certain, seemingly random point. To check issue: run the codesanbox, open preview, shrink preview window. https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/3z3qjm

Do you have a mockup of how it should look like? Even drawn on https://excalidraw.com is fine

The first picture shows how it should work at all times and screen sizes - the caption always taking up a fixed percentage of the image height with text clipped by ellipses. Second shows what happens when shrinking past a certain seemingly random point. The others are how that should work.
