Hello,
this sounds either like a limitation that should be documentation in the module readme, or
a small bug that could be fixed.
You could open an issue on our tracker about it, or even better, submit a pull request.
Cheers,
Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Pipelimit needs restart to reload values
Greetings,
I've been using the pipelimit module and the pl_check function to control users rates
in my proxy.
if (!pl_check("$var(UserID)", "TAILDROP", "$var(UserRate)"))
{
pl_drop();
exit;
}
In this case $var(UserID) is the pipe and $var(UserRate) is the maximum rate.
The value of the rate is retrieved on every call via query to a DB.
If I change the UserRate value to 0 CPS on the DB calls are not rejected unless they go
over 1 CPS. However, if I restart Kamailio all calls are correctly rejected.
Why does this happen? Can I change this behaviour?
Cheers,
Duarte
