Schengen entry rules for a UK resident with EU-citizen spouse
I'm trying to get some clear information on what category I fall under with regards entering the Schengen Area, since the immigration offices I've called have not been very helpful.
I am a Brazilian national (Brazilian passport), married to an Italian woman and living in the UK. I have a UK residence card that says "Family member - EU residence" on the front and under remarks on the back "EU right to reside".
In the past year, I've been traveling alone to the EU quite a bit for personal reasons (mostly The Netherlands). I show my passport at border control, answer a couple questions and get the entry stamp. I've recently realized I might be bumping against the 90 day rule limit and don't want to risk an overstay.
So my questions are:
Does the 90 day rule apply to me (when I travel alone), given the 2 documents I possess are a Brazilian passport and a UK residence card?
How exactly is the rule applied? Based on my understanding of the rule, the calculator at https://ec.europa.eu/assets/home/visa-calculator/calculator.htm is incorrect, since it only factors in the last 90 days. Edit: this is the calculation I think is incorrect (for planning) https://ibb.co/mv4JG35
