Quota config issue

[sidd-harth]

Hi guys, when I am trying to use a Quota policy with below config, it doesn't restrict anything as it allows unlimited calls,

<Quota name="Quota-1" enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false">
    <DisplayName>Quota-1</DisplayName>
    <Properties/>
    <Allow count="2"/>
    <Interval>1</Interval>
    <Distributed>true</Distributed>
    <Synchronous>true</Synchronous>
    <TimeUnit>minute</TimeUnit>
</Quota>

but when I use below config with ref tags, it is working fine (allowing 2 calls pm)

<Quota name="Quota-1" enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false">
    <DisplayName>Quota-1</DisplayName>
    <Properties/>
    <Allow countRef="request.header.allowed_quota" count="2"/>
    <Interval ref="request.header.quota_count">1</Interval>
    <Distributed>true</Distributed>
    <Synchronous>true</Synchronous>
    <TimeUnit ref="request.header.quota_timeout">minute</TimeUnit>
</Quota>

I know we can use ref tag to get the values from API Product. But as far as I remember both the above configs should be working right?

I tested your first configuration and it's working just fine for me. After the first 2 calls, further invocations are rejected until a minute passes.

I have tested it now, it is working fine.

Yesterday it was allowing unlimited calls. May be some issue with Trail account MP.
