The reloption does not set an exact value, according to the code:
/*
* Use the table parallel_degree, but don't go further than
* max_parallel_degree.
*/
parallel_degree = Min(rel->rel_parallel_degree, max_parallel_degree);
although the existing documentation for it is so vague that you
couldn't tell from that.
