This was how we used to run prior to switching to fair-share. Basically you set: PriorityDecayHalfLife=0 which stops the values decaying over time so once they hit their limit that's it. We also set: PriorityUsageResetPeriod=QUARTERLY so that limits would reset on the quarter boundaries. This was because we used to have fixed quarterly allocations for projects. We went to fair-share because of a change of the funding model for us meant previous rules were removed and so we could go to fair-share which meant a massive improvement in utilisation (compute nodes were no longer idle with jobs waiting but unable to run because of being out of quota). NOTE: You can't have both fairshare and hard quotas at the same time.
