Getting quota exceeded even though requested seconds is less than what's left

Further observations seem to suggest that ZeroGPU is counting twice the amount of expended quotas, both requested and actual seconds consumed. I checked this by looking at the dashboard “Billing” tab.
Currently the progress bar in the dashboard seems to first add the requested seconds to the progress, then when the job completes it reduces the progress to what was actually used. I tested on my space which requested 35 seconds and actually used 26. The progress bar first went to 1.2 and then dropped to 0.8. Therefore it seems to me that everything is counted twice.
The quota exceeded bug in the first post may be related as well. It’s possible that the quota exceeded check is checking the remaining quota that used the requested seconds of the last job instead of the actual. Then when the popup is shown the actual seconds (a lower value) is used, resulting in the math being wrong (requested seconds of the new job is lower than the quota remaining).
