Air filter over 100k? Ok time to change it :)

Your filter minder might not work or it could be the be freaking mouse hole in it. How am I the first one to notice that?

Huh? What mouse hole?

So apparently the hole with the foam pre filter is a bypass Incase the main intake gets clogged. For example in situations where the truck is used as a plow snow might get packed in the intake and cause a restriction.

It's kind of rough looking but not the worst I've ever seen. Replace it, clean out the air box and maybe vacuum out the excess of your older air filter just in case you need a backup. Like a lot of people say here you get the most where by opening up the air box is that's when the silicone is at the highest during a oil analysis. You would surely be a candidate for a dry flow air filter. Wash it out with cleaner AKA simple green light detergent let it dry and reload it into the air filter box

In either case you're guessing without a way to measure.
My last interval was in the middle:

Filter change by minder at 42K miles

The WIX filter minder on my Toyota (in the sig) finally reached 11" after 6 years & 9 months. Gauge checked after a WOT run to 5000 rpm. Dirty side: Clean side: Close up: The new filter reached one click below 8" restriction.

I don’t really care. So, moot point.
