Mass-loss is a key parameter throughout the evolution of massive stars. In this work we probe the radial clumping stratification of OB stars in the intermediate and outer wind regions (r ≳ 2R*; r, radial distance to photosphere), derive upper limits for mass-loss rates, Ṁmax, and compare them to current theoretical mass-loss recipes implemented in evolutionary models. A key conclusion of our analysis regards the derived upper-limit mass-loss rates of B supergiants, independently of clumping, which calls for an urgent revision of the role recombination of iron-like elements plays in determining the mass-loss rates of objects that cross the bi-stability region, and a careful analysis of corresponding effects for stellar evolution models.
