The settings limit=0 useother=true contradict each other. useother applies to those cut off by the limit, but limit=0 doesn't cut anything off.

What you're seeing in the pie chart is the chart summarizing many small slices into one other-slice, that's not a result of the top command. See the tabular results view for confirmation.
