not sure I totally understand the question, but I'll try to answer.
If you use up 100% of your credit limit and then make a payment for 90% of what the new balance is (lets say its the day it posts) you'll be back down to 10%.
If this all happens before the statment cuts and info is sent to the credit reporting agencies then all will show up on your credit report your utilization of 10%. It won't show that you used 100% of your credit limit for like 3 days.
The high balance on your credit reports just shows what the highest balance you ever had reported on your credit reports.
I've messed around with it for a couple months I would make sure no matter what I had exactly 9% balance reporting. for 2 months once I got the card up to 9% I SD it for the rest of the month and paid it off as soon as the statement cut. Then for 2 months I used up 100% of my measly 300 CL (i'm paying for a cruise so I made a 300 payment) paid off all but 9% as soon as it cut and then paid off the balance the day after the statement cut. Both times my "highest balance" never once went up to $300. I've since just started using as much or as little of that 300 as I wanted and just make sure I pay off the balance before the statment cuts.
I think the only issue you'll ever see is a manual review, but even then they look at whats the reported balance now vs the credit limit. Even more so if you've had the card for more than 6 months.
If you've had the card 3 years and go to get a mortgage they will manually look at your credit reports, but really all they will care about is that your payments are all on time, and what your balance is, at the point of review for DTI ratio. They won't care that 3 years ago you maxed out your credit card. And unless you only have cap 1 you should see a credit limit increase after 3 years anyways so really it wouldn't even bee 100% at that point...
Your FICO score doesn't care what your high limit is. It just takes a look at the current util at the particular time your score is pulled.
