When the GP increases "Unused Capital Commitments" using the "Recycled Amount", how should LPs/fund admins track recycled capital versus original commitments?

LPs and fund admins should track recycling at the **individual LP capital account** level, not just fund-wide.

- Maintain a per-LP schedule with:
- total capital contributions
- cumulative distributions returned
- amount by which distributions have met or exceeded contributions
- increase to that LP’s **Unused Capital Commitment**
- recycled capital actually re-called
- Update this after **every distribution and capital call**
- This preserves a clear distinction between:
- **original commitments**
- **recycled capacity**
- **recalled recycled capital**

If simplicity is the priority, many smaller or first-time funds set recycling to **0%** to avoid this tracking burden.
