Dendrogram y-axis labeling confusion

I have a large (106x106) correlation matrix in pandas with the following structure:

Truncated here for simplicity.

If I calculate the linkage, and later plot the dendrogram using the following code:

from scipy.cluster.hierarchy import dendrogram, linkage
Z = linkage(result_df.corr(),'average')
plt.figure()
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(20, 20))
axes.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=15)

dendrogram(Z=Z,labels=result_df_null_cols.columns,leaf_rotation=90.,ax=axes,color_threshold=2.);#,fig_size=[10,10]);

It yields a dendrogram like:

My question is surrounding the y-axis. On all examples I have seen, the Y axis is bound between 0,2 - which I have read to interpret as (1-corr). In my result, the boundary is much higher. 0 being items that are highly correlated (1-1 = 0), and 2 being the cutoff on lowly correlated stuff (1 - -1 = 2).

I found the following answer but it does not agree with this answer and the referenced lecture notes here.

Anyway - hoping someone can clarify which source is the correct one, and help spread some knowledge on the topic.
