How many shots left on card for Canon R5?

To go back to the CFe/SD thing. If you shoot raw to CFe plus jpeg to SD, let's pretend your CFe only had space for 10 raw pictures, but your SD card has space for 100 raw pictures. Only you shoot 10 pictures, your CFe card has space for 0 pictures and your SD card has space for 90 pictures. You can't take pictures at this point because you have no more CFe storage and the camera will not switch to recording raw to SD only automatically. You can change the settings to take more pictures, but as far as the camera is concerned, your settings of shooting raw to one card and jpeg to another dictate that you have no more storage available to take pictures once the CFe card is full.

Fv can be auto anything, including ISO. Higher ISO has more noise, which takes up more storage. You can switch to manual, increase your ISO, and you will see the picture count drop also. Of course, that storage number is a complete guesstimate and how many pictures your storage holds is dictated by how much data is needed to capture the image.

Yes, I understand how the storage thing works, it would just be helpful to be able to see remaining shots regardless. I've seen this in other camera bodies and it was a nice feature for keeping track of cards, especially when switching between 3-4 if needed, to make sure you have a good amount of space left or not.

I was setting up the C1-C3 functions using Fv and manual. When setting them to identical settings, the Fv still shows as far, far less shots estimated. Poured over the settings for a long while to double and triple check. Seems odd, but I guess that's just how it is for some reason. Fv mode seems super nice to use but if I can get drastically more shots on a card from manual settings I guess I won't use it. (All of this assuming I'm not just missing some important detail somewhere, which is entirely possible.)
