Model usage quota doesn't show on footer

[shaunduncan]

What happened?

Configuring /footer to show quota information does not show when model limit has been reached. The steps that I took to get here:

1. Use /model and manually select gemini-3.1-pro-preview
2. Configure /footer and enable the quota section
3. Use up daily quota of model
4. Confirm quota reached via /stats
5. Quota information does not show on footer

Screenshot of /footer configuration:

Screenshot of /stats output. Footer is missing quota information:

What did you expect to happen?

I would have expected to see the percentage of daily quota that had already been used for the selected model.

I think the issue is in emitQuotaChangedEvent() — it calls getPooledQuota() which returns early with an empty object for non-auto models:
if (!isAutoModel(model)) {
return {};
}
so from what I can tell, when you select a specific model like gemini-3.1-pro-preview via /model, the quota event ends up getting emitted with undefined values and the footer skips rendering. what's interesting is /stats works because it goes through getQuotaRemaining() which has a fallback to look up the specific model, the event path seems to be missing that same fallback

Hi @Anjaligarhwal you are totally right!

I actually have made several changes to the /footer for quota as part of #25121, one of which fixes the change mentioned above.

Hey @jackwotherspoon, thanks for confirming the root cause!

Your PR looks more solid with the regression test and fraction-only handling on top of it.
