solana_network_vote_credits not showing the average?

[ncavedale-xlabs]

Hi team!
The description for the solana_network_vote_credits metric indicates it should return the network's average vote credits, but it seems to be showing something else.
# HELP solana_network_vote_credits solana network average vote credits of previous and current epoch.

As explained here, “In order to receive or maintain a stake delegation from the Solana Foundation, a validator must earn no less than 3% fewer vote credits than the cluster average for a given epoch. For example, if the cluster average for the last epoch was 100,000 vote credits, a validator must have earned at least 97,000 credits to meet this criteria.”

When we compare the values for the network vs validator metrics, we see that we are way below the 3% threshold, but our node works fine and we haven't lost any stake. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting this?
