Abstract: We evaluate for the inhomogeneous static electric Sauter step potential the imaginary part of the emerging homogeneous in electric field effective Euler-Heisenberg-Schwinger action sourced by vacuum fluctuations of a charged particle with magnetic moment of arbitrary strength. The result is convergent for all values of gyromagnetic ratio $g$, periodic in $g$, with a cusp at $g=2$. We consider the relation to the QED beta-function which is also found to be periodic in $g$. We confirm presence of asymptotic freedom conditions using this novel method and document a wider range of $g$-values for which asymptotic freedom is present.
