I'm using the G1 garbage collector.
You can enable adaptive size policy logs with
-XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy
Here's sample output in the GC logs
1822.780: [G1Ergonomics (Heap Sizing) attempt heap expansion, reason: recent GC overhead higher than threshold after GC, recent GC overhead: 11.48 %, threshold: 10.00 %, uncommitted: 0 bytes, calculated expansion amount: 0 bytes (20.00 %)]
Which JVM flag manages the threshold: 10.00 % that is mentioned in there?
Below are some of the flags that seemed related, but I tried setting a different value for a few of them and the log message didn't change.

GCTimeRatio is the one you're looking for, it has a different default when you actually specify G1. In general PringFlagsFinal should be appended to your actual command line because some flags can influence the defaults of others.
What drives the GC ergonomics is covered in the official docs, you should read them before embarking on GC tuning.
