   ### Apache Airflow version
   
   3.0.6
   
   ### If "Other Airflow 2 version" selected, which one?
   
   _No response_
   
   ### What happened?
   
   The pool slots chart is currently misleading when deferred tasks are 
configured _not_ to consume pool slots.

 />
   
   - When deferred tasks are **not** consuming pool slots, the chart still 
shows them, making it look like the pool usage is 129 with 128 available.

 />
   
   - When deferred tasks **are** consuming pool slots, the chart shows 127 used 
+ 1 deferred, which makes sense in that context

   This creates confusion because it looks like the chart is "double-counting" 
or incorrectly showing available slots, even though the numbers are technically 
correct. As a user, I would need to know both:
   1. Total possible slots
   2. How deferred tasks are being treated (counted vs not counted)
   
   ### What you think should happen instead?
   
   The chart should only show deferred tasks if they are actively consuming a 
pool slot. Otherwise, it creates a misleading impression of slot usage. 
   
   Update the chart logic to:
   - Only show deferred tasks if they are actively consuming a pool slot
   - Optionally clarify total slots vs available slots.
   
   ### How to reproduce
   
   1. Configure a deployment with a pool size of 128 slots (using the default 
pool is fine)
   2. Run a dag with a deferred task. HITL example is easiest. 
   3. View the pool slot chart.
     - With deferred tasks **not consuming slots**, the chart shows 128 ✓ + 1 
(appears as 129)
     - With deferred tasks **consuming slots** the chart shows 127 ✓ + 1 which 
is expected
