Some neocon here said yesterday it was 83%, and I’ve heard other numbers bandied about, but nothing conclusive from the MSM as to what the true percentage is.

"Full gas storage could sustain European countries for, at best, about three months, according to Aurora Energy Research. In Germany, home to nearly a quarter of the EU's storage, stored gas could meet 80 to 90 days of average demand."

Analysis: Full gas storage no fix for Europe's winter energy crunch

So they are still looking to cut usage by 15-20% and no doubt, they will still be importing energy throughout the winter, just not from Russia.

“European gas storage for the Winter is 90% full.”

“What percentage of the season’s needs are the stored units?”

European gas storage holds about 1/4 of annual use, or about 10 weeks of average peak Winter use.

Even though Russian supply has now cracked below 10% of Europe’s current supply, with some conservation, replacement and alternative suppliers; the Europeans have met their current needs and filled their reserves ahead of schedule.

More alternative supplies are coming on line between now and the end of the year, and even more through next year.
