Yes, you've haven't seen a nitrite drop because you've now got a mountain of nitrite in there, lol. 1ppm of ammonia is processed by the A-Bacs into 2.7ppm of nitrite and then 3.6ppm of nitrate (roughly.) Don't worry, none of this is a problem. If your pH has dropped dangerously close to 6.2 or lower then you'll have a double reason to take action with a water change, but a water change would probably be the worst thing you'd have to do as a result of your "excess." Otherwise, if pH is still high then there might not be reason to interrupt the process with a water change yet.
