could be a rounding issue. If you play (and beat) some player that is ranked higher then you a few times online does it change to echelon 5 ? It might be that when it's displaying 100% you actually haven't reached or better yet advanced further than 100% making it not switch. Internally the ranking system uses "ladderpoints" probably the same as in older tm games. so it'll only switch if you have 50000 or more ladderpoints could be you have for example 49999 and the game is displaying 100% due to rounding issues while you did not get enough ladderpoints to reach echelon 5

There's only one way to know your current ladderpoints and that's by joining a room that requires an echelon rank higher than what you have. The game then displays "blablabla <points> points is not enough to join this room" or something along these lines. That's the only place i actually saw the ladderpoints once.

also
echelon 0 = 0-9999
echelon 1 = 10000 - 19999
echelon 2 = 20000 - 29999
etc
this can be seen from applying a filter on the rooms browser on the player pages by specificing a required echelon rank and looking at the parameters for the url of the page to be displayed afterwards

Echelons 5 and higher are probably not unlocked yet. The ladder system of TM always required a certain amount of people on a certain level until a higher level can be reached/obtained. Right now, we just have to wait for more people to be on echelon 4 until the next ones are being unlocked I guess. On PS4 for example, echelon 5 is already obtainable, so it's just a matter of time until it is the case on PC as well.
