Is it planned to be progressive or is the 30% cut taken on the full amount if developer revenue exceeds the $1M threshold by 1 dollar?
The final details aren't published yet, but by based on what Apple has published you only qualify if you made less then $1m during 2020. If you exceed $1m at any point during the current year all sales for the remainder of that year are charged 30%. The following year all your sales from day 1 will be 30% for that entire year. If you fall below $1m for that year then you can reapply to qualify for the %15 fee for the next year.
From Apple's site:

1. Existing developers who made up to $1 million in 2020 for all of their apps, as well as developers new to the App Store, can qualify for the program and the reduced commission.

2. If a participating developer surpasses the $1 million threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year.

3. If a developer’s business falls below the $1 million threshold in a future calendar year, they can requalify for the 15 percent commission the year after.

The $1 million threshold is defined as post-commission
