Confused about definitions

I have a September 2007 Model S P100D around 34000 miles.

Using one of those tools on Android to read diagnostics data from that special cable under the cubby, I see the following
  • Nominal Full Pack = 90 kWh
  • Usable Full Pack = 85 kWh
  • Energy Buffer = 5 kWh
Based on the above data, it appears as thought my pack has degraded to 90 kWh, of which they keep 5 kWH as the buffer, which means when I charge to 100%, I'm only actually charging to 85 kWh.

Would the above understanding be correct?

BTW, it shows the following which is very interesting as well
  • Discharge Cycles = 202
  • Charge Cycles = 214
It also shows
  • DC Charge Total = 6687 kWh
  • AC Charge Total = 7596 kWh
  • Regen Total = 4983 kWh
