A bounded-limit conjecture for the generalized quality metric

For an abcabc-triple (a,b,c)(a,b,c), let qC(a,b,c;α,β)q_C(a,b,c;\alpha,\beta) be the alternative quality metric considered in the source, with parameters α\alpha and β\beta. Generalized quality metric conjecture. For every α0\alpha\geq0, there exists β=β(α)>0\beta=\beta(\alpha)>0 such that

lim supcmax{qC(a,b,c;α,β):(a,b,c) is an abc-triple}=L\limsup_{c\to\infty}\max\{q_C(a,b,c;\alpha,\beta):(a,b,c)\text{ is an }abc\text{-triple}\}=L

for some finite, nonzero LL. This conjecture proposes that each fixed value of α\alpha admits a choice of β\beta producing a finite positive asymptotic upper envelope; the supplied source gives no resolution.
