Why do you need an "exact" quota ? Doing anything other than the rate based method used now is a lot harder and computationally more expensive* - which gives a fair approximation over a period. If you user tries to send messages continuously, then they will in fact be throttled to a rate of approximately 8/300s - it's just that if they have a gap, they can initially burst an additional 8 messages out before the rate limiting cuts in. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
