Does the ESP button completely turn off ESP or only change the thresholds it will intervene?

I have heard that it is still monitoring and will step back in if things start going bad enough.

To disable ESP until the next time you start the engine...
...hold the ESP button in for 10-15 seconds.
When first pushed, the yellow warning light comes on, if you continue to hold the button in, the light will eventually go off indicating that the system has been disabled. You must shut off/restart the car for the system to return to normal operation.

In A6, ESP automatically enabled during braking...
Regardless of setting of ESP switch, ABS and ESP continue to function during braking...
From Bentley manual:
ESP, function
ESP incorporates the functions of electronic brake force distribution, ABS, EDL and ASR. The individual elements of the system are as follows:
If required, the ASR and ESP control functions can be switched off and then on again by means of the ASR/ESP push-button switch in the center console. This switch is overridden when the driver presses the brake pedal: ESP will remain active at all times during braking. Both functions, ASR and ESP, will be reactivated automatically the next time the ignition is switched on.
