According to this page:

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_dptools%3A+Limit

"Note that a limit is active within a given context - if you transfer an inbound call from the public dialplan to an extension in the default dialplan - any limit you just set in the public dialplan will be reset."

Either I am misunderstanding something, or this statement may not be 100% accurate for version FreeSWITCH Version 1.6.20+git~20180507T185611Z~43a9feb7f8~64bit (git 43a9feb 2018-05-07 18:56:11Z 64bit)

The following is an excerpt from the logs showing a call in the public context getting transferred to another destination in the public context and the limit is getting reset:

EXECUTE sofia/external/CENSORED@CE.NS.OR.ED limit(hash inbound IHCAV 2 didlimit$1)

2018-07-17 10:30:15.452366 [DEBUG] switch_limit.c:126 incr called: inbound_IHCAV max:2, interval:0

2018-07-17 10:30:15.452366 [DEBUG] mod_hash.c:297 Usage for inbound_IHCAV is now 0

2018-07-17 10:30:15.452366 [NOTICE] switch_ivr.c:2172 Transfer sofia/external/CENSORED@CE.NS.OR.ED to xml[freedom2@public]

Am I missing something? Is there a way to keep the call in the limit count when transferring it to the same context?
