[2.0.64] Inserter item tooltip and inserter entity tooltip are inconsistent when prototype has high constant drain

- What did you do?
Adjusted an inserter prototype to have a significant drain in its energy source.
Example: data.raw.inserter["bulk-inserter"].energy_source.drain = "50kW" in a data-final-fixes.lua file. - What happened?
Item tooltip shows a max. consumption of 218 kW and min. consumption of 50 kW.Entity tooltip shows a max. consumption of 179 kW and min. consumption of 50 kW.- Untitled.png (24.06 KiB) Viewed 391 times
Additionally, the entity itself does drain power consistent with the entity tooltip, leading to a constant drain of 50 kW when inactive, with "valleys" of 98kW and "peaks" of 179kW due to the power usage mechanics described on the wiki.- Untitled2.png (56.58 KiB) Viewed 391 times

- What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected that the entity and entity tooltip would have max. and min. consumption numbers matching the item, as the numbers on the item line up with what I expected from increasing the constant drain of a bulk inserter by 49 kW. - Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.
