Summary

The Usage page told Team members "The team pool ran out. Team usage pauses until the reset", whatever their own balance. That is not what happens: the billing server lets any paid member, Team included, keep working while their own extra credit balance is positive, and since #1514 the Settings menu says so. The two surfaces disagreed.

The pace line and the Credits note now point a team member to their own extra credits:

• Pool ran out, no credits: "The team pool ran out. Add Extra credits to your own account to keep going before the reset on { date }."
• Pool ran out, credits on hand: "The team pool ran out. Your own Extra credits cover your usage while your balance lasts. The pool resets on { date }."
• Before it runs out: the pace sentence ends with "you need your own Extra credits until the reset", or "your own Extra credits cover your usage" when a balance exists.
• Credits note for teams: adds that extra credits on your own account are used only after the team's credits run out, and they don't expire.

Buying credits needed no change: the Billing section already offers it to any Pro-or-better tier, which includes Team.

Not in this PR

On Team plans the Usage chart and the request table still do not mark which usage went to extra credits. That is more than wording.

Validation

• just ci-lint and the app test suite pass, including a new test for the four cases (a_team_member_is_pointed_to_their_own_extra_credits).
• Pre-commit hook (just ci-test) passed.
• Spanish and German are updated and stamped with just translations-reviewed. Neither has had a native review.
• Not checked live: no Team test account was used.
