This is not possible. A CDR cannot be generated without a session, and a
session will not be generated if the max sessions limit has already been
reached...

mod_limit is most definitely your best option at this point. If you haven't
read this yet please do:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_limit

In the example on that page, you have a "limit_exceeded" extension which
would show up in your CDR, or you can set a specific channel variable which
will magically show up in an XML CDR. (You can modify CSV CDRs to have any
custom channel variables as well. See
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Cdrwhich refers to the <templates>
section of
conf/autoload_configs/cdr_csv.conf.xml)

Try adding the limit app in your dialplan and have the limit_exceeded
extension as well. You could set the limit really low for the sake of
testing before setting it to the value necessary for your production
deployment.

Let us know how it goes.
