It is shown whether Higgs inflation can be saved as high-scale supersymmetry critically depends on the magnitude of the non-minimal coupling constant . For small
, the threshold correction at scale
is constrained with high precision. Its magnitude is in the narrow range of
and
for the wino and higgsino–singlino dark matter, respectively. In the large-
region with
, such high-scale supersymmetry is excluded by a too large threshold correction as required by Higgs inflation.
