You are conflating redeemable miles and elite qualification miles.

Your AS status gives you additional redeemable miles, but they have nothing to do with (annual) elite status qualifications.

Partner earning for status refer to the column, "elite qualifying miles" % only.

The number of miles available in your account is your redeemable miles - this is a cumulative balance. Elite qualifying miles, on the other hand, is earned each year, and every year, as it resets to zero on Jan 1.
