We compute and clarify the interpretation of the on-shell Euclidean action for Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes in de Sitter space. We show the on-shell action is minus the sum of the black hole and cosmological horizon entropy for arbitrary mass and charge in any number of dimensions. This unifying expression helps to clear up a confusion about the Euclidean actions of extremal and ultracold black holes in de Sitter, as they can be understood as special cases of the general expression. We then use this result to estimate the probability for the pair creation of black holes with arbitrary mass and charge in an empty de Sitter background, by employing the formalism of constrained instantons. Finally, we suggest that the decay of charged de Sitter black holes is governed by the gradient flow of the entropy function and that, as a consequence, the regime of light, superradiant, rapid charge emission should describe the potential decay of extreme charged Nariai black holes to singular geometries.

  1. Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0

    For charged de Sitter black holes, choosing the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization keeps the heat capacity finite in the Nariai limit, removing the expected log-T breakdown except in the cold and ultracold limits.

  2. The fate of Reissner--Nordstr\"om--de Sitter black holes: nonequilibrium discharge and evaporation

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Semiclassical RN-dS evaporation via 2D dilaton gravity and anomaly flux yields monotonic neutral mass loss and rapid discharge, making classical equilibrium loci non-attractors and leading to empty de Sitter space.

  3. Limits on the Statistical Description of Charged de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Adopting the Bousso-Hawking observer normalization for RNdS black holes produces finite heat capacity near the Nariai limit while confirming vanishing capacity in cold and ultracold limits, limiting statistical descriptions.
