Hi,

When I created my accounts along time ago, I imposed a max job limit for every 
user as 1000.


I’m trying to set my job limit down to 250 for testing purposes.


->sacctmgr list user jwillis WithAssoc
      User   Def Acct     Admin    Cluster    Account  Partition     Share 
MaxJobs MaxNodes  MaxCPUs MaxSubmit     MaxWall  MaxCPUMins                  
QOS   Def QOS
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- 
------- -------- -------- --------- ----------- ----------- 
-------------------- ---------
   jwillis     abstar Administ+ schief_cl+     abstar                    1     
250                                                                   normal
   jwillis     abstar Administ+ schief_cl+ schief_us+                    1     
250               250                                                 normal


However, when I submit 1000s of jobs, my limits are still at 1000. 

JOBS IN THE QUEUE:
      User  Running   Queued  Suspend     Jobs  RequestedCores RunningCores
  -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------------- ------------
   jwillis     1000     1325        0     2325            2325         1000


Does anyone know 

1) Why my modifying MaxJobs to 250 is not working?
2) Is there an easier way to set max running jobs to 250? Perhaps something 
within the sbatch submission?


The other thing It tried was adding a new account and doing an account based 
job limit, but I couldn’t submit to that account (abstar account shown above). 
I was getting this error:
