A little known trick for using limit, is that  you can do it on the B-LEG, rather then calling it form the A-Leg and you won't have to worry about holding the locks if the B-Leg fails, and you fall over to somethng else.
 
If you do the limit using "execute_on_originate" and the B-LEG fails somewhere along the way, the lock will go away when the B-LEG goes away. Also if the limit fails, and returns the condition linke user_busy or something else, it will just look like the gateway failed, with that response.
 
This is a much better way of using limit for some type of outbound applicaiton.

Hmm, so simple. I wonder how I overlooked it :)

Sorry for the thread hijack, but on the other hand, is it possible to limit the number of outgoing CPS? Don't seem to see that either in the wiki or a way to make it work.

Cheers Avi I've now changed that to hash as I don't need it to be persistent.
What should I see in the clie to confirm this is working without attempting 150+ calls

Basically I've added this to my default.xml

    <action application="set" data="destnum=${destination_number}" />
    <action application="bridge" data="loopback/context/zetta-cisco-1,loopback/context/zetta-cisco-2" />

    <extension name="zetta-cisco-1">
        <condition field="destination_number" expression="zetta-cisco-1">
                <action application="limit" data="hash outgoing zetta-cisco-1 150" />
                <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/zetta-cisco-1/${destnum}" />
        </condition>
    </extension>
    <extension name="zetta-cisco-2">
        <condition field="destination_number" expression="zetta-cisco-2">
                <action application="limit" data="hash outgoing zetta-cisco-2 150" />
                <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/zetta-cisco-2/${destnum}" />

I've implemented this in default.xml hoping to limit each of my two gateways to 150. 
Based on what's in http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Limit#Using_limit_with_per-gateway_or_per-user_channel_limits so hopefully that works.

    <extension name="zetta-cisco-1">
        <condition field="destination_number" expression="zetta-cisco-1">
                <action application="limit" data="db outgoing zetta-cisco-1 150" />

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to limit the number of calls a Gateway is allowed to use. Our Sip provider has provided up with 200 which I need to set within the system somehow.
What's the best way to handle it for an outgoing only system.
I've been trying to figure out how how to configure 'Rate limiting concurrent outgoing calls via a provider' which is mentioned in the wiki a bit but nothing specific on what to actually do.
