The problem is that showing the current power delivered only does lead the unexperienced users to wrong conclusions, means "I can connect x more devices" because there is power available. The IEEE PoE standards require a PSE to keep the power _requested_ by the PD available. The GS316EP and GS316EPP default config does define a user configured power limit by port. The other factor is that any power exceeding the available power cal lead to a PoE shutdown of the lower priority (higher numbered) PoE ports. The primary limit should come from the PoE class requested resp. the user configured port power - not from the current consumed power.
