I read "90% of unused allowance carries over to the next day" as unused allowance carries over exactly 1 day. That is, it's the allowance that carries over, not the carry over.
If allowance is fungible like you say, then sure, you're right. My experience of accountants and lawyers is that they don't treat these things as fungible, and are more likely to do something like:
Day 1:
allowance 200 emails
carried over 0
consumed 0
Day 2:
allowance 200
carried over 180
consumed 0
Day 3:
allowance 200
carried over 180 // 90% of 200 not 380
consumed 50 // consumption taken from allowance first
Day 4:
allowance 200
carried over 135 // 90% of 150 not 200 or 330
consumed 0
and so on.
Maybe it's treated as fungible, but IMO the above is how lawyers and accountants would treat it.
