Enterprise Pools 2.0 optimization of credits

When we ordered our E1080_E980 we purchased credits for that pool. When I designed and configured our first private cloud based on E950s and FS7200 I also added credits to this pool. Since the 2.0 pool worked so well those credits are now impossible to use (although purchased/payed for). We are now in the process to extend lease for E1080s and then I would like to reuse my credits from the E950 ie transform from one pool to another. I think this should be an option to even more show how well power systems meet modern compute. If this is not possible then I see the opposite, rigid solution where purchased creditscan be a total waste of money.  The credits amount was also part of a design/amount made together with vendor and we did not see (or if it was possible at that time ie we missed that the credits should have stayed in ESS as a "bank of credits".
