Section 28.2.3 states

If the ‘ar’ is followed by a number then the production system will try to make roughly
that many each turn (subject to available armaments) unless there are 10x that
number of items in the pool.

This implies to me that production will stop if there are 10 x the ar in the pool eg if ar =190 then when the pool reaches 1,900 production will stop until the pool is < 1900.

This does not appear to be the case. Nor does there appear to be any choke on 'need'.

In one of the patches it was changed to 100x

Reasoning was, that also the transit pool is taken into account and that sometimes that pool got so big that nothing was produced even though there was a shortage.

In that case it's missing in the Living Manual 1.22.

Little note:
The stuff which has a actual number 'Z' behind the
ar (ARmamentpoints(?))
ch (CHassis)
af (AirFrame)
is often being created by taking the amount 'X' which has been produced IRL during the war and divide it by 'Y', which is the time/period/duration of production. So X/Y=Z, if you'd lock this from producing further stuff this would often lead to lower numbers produced than they historically were, since in game consumption/destruction and assignment of equipment is not 100% historic.
