Abstract
The decay of extremal charged black holes has been a useful guidance to derive consistency conditions in quantum gravity. In de Sitter space it has been argued that requiring (extremal) charged Nariai black holes to decay without forming a big crunch singularity yields the Festina Lente (FL) bound: particles with mass ms and charge q should satisfy $$ {m}_s^2\gg {M}_p Hq $$

, where Mp is the Planck mass and H the Hubble parameter. Using a tunneling approach we show that the decay probability of charged black holes in de Sitter space in the s-wave sector is P ∼ exp(∆Sb), where ∆Sb is the change in the black hole entropy. We find that the FL bound corresponds to ∆Sb ≤ – 1 in the Nariai and probe limit. However, taking into account backreaction we identify unsuppressed decay channels, which might be subdominant, that violate this bound but nonetheless do not result in a big crunch for every observer.
