We study small-ball probabilities for the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise in the moderate-deviations regime. We prove the existence of a small-ball constant and related it to other known quantities in the literature. These small-ball estimates are known to imply Chung-type laws of the iterated logarithm (LIL) at typical spatial points; these points can be thought of as "points of flat growth". For this result in a similar context in SPDEs see, for example, the recent work of Chen \citeCh2023. We establish the existence of a new family of exceptional spatial points where the Chung-type LIL fails.
