The5ers Daily Drawdown

Hello everyone. I have an account with the prop firm The5ers and I exceeded the daily 5% drawdown by 10 cents during phase 2. I have currently lost exactly 5% + 0,10 cent. I immediately thought my account was already closed, however when I check the account dashboard I discovered that their algorithm shows no violation, since it indicates that I have lost exactly 5% of the account and not more.

Now my question is: am I still in the game? Or will they remove my account when they do a manual review?

Out of curiosity, I asked Claude, and it replied that manual reviews are carried out for those trying to game the system (news trading, arbitrage, hedging, etc.), and that for drawdown they might not even check it, since they already have their own bot that handles it automatically.
