Elite token cap NOT increased by purchase with real money

I recently bought an extra 1000 green elite tokens expecting it to increase the cap to 16,000. It didn’t. Last night I was at 14,918 and earned an extra 500 greens from SD, claimed them from the inbox, only to find my number of greens was still the same. Maybe NM have changed something in the recent update to take away the previous ‘feature’ that allowed real money purchases to increase the token caps.
