sv_maxrate

Does anyone have a suggestion for this not working anymore in the server.cfg

This always worked until the big update back in may-jun.
Poeple now have rates on the server from 1000-25000000
I have seen several sites that are still unaware of this problem.

CSS (etc) engine: maximum sv_maxrate is 30000 (30KiB/s)
TF2 (etc), orange engine: maximum sv_maxrate is 100000 (100KiB/s)

Nothing much changed

that's not what i was getting at.
My point is the server.cfg no longer controls the sv_maxrate
If a user sets his rate to 250000000 it will accept it and the server.cfg will not get it back to the 30000 that we have it set at.

Wait, do you mean that like a customer sets the sv_maxrate it won't go back?
or
When a client sets his OWN rates to something higher than the server maxrate it won't be limited by the server?

For the first one, shouldn't be possible, the sv_maxrate command can only be set at the start of the server, it will not change while the server is running.
For the second one, client rates are NEVER influenced/set by the server, the server however will NEVER send more bytes per second than the set sv_maxrate regardless of the settings clients use. Server (sv_) settings are completely different than the clients (cl_) and have nothing to do with eachother.
