I thought the threshold was a stop limit such as when your voting power gets to it (95% in your example) will it stop voting, not the other way - start voting if vp gets above 95%

Isn't this the same thing?

• If my voting power is above 95%, hive.vote is active and casts votes
• If my voting power is below 95%, hive.vote stops and doesn't cast a vote
• When my voting power goes again above 95%, hive.vote activates again and casts votes

So if I set a threshold of 99%, hive.vote only casts votes when my vp is close to 100%.

And if I vote manually and, let's say, bring my voting power down to 89%, hive.vote stops and wait for it to recharge to 99% (which might never happen if I keep curating manually, but may come in handy if I'm on vacation, like in the example made by @cherokee4life).
