Description This article describes how to resolve an issue on accessing a website when it shows ‘Traffic blocked because of exceeded session quota’.
Scope FortiOS
Solution

In this example, traffic shaping per-ip shaper is configured in FortiGate:

When accessing a web site, the user is not able to access it. On the web browser, it shows 'Traffic blocked because of exceeded session quota’

From the debug flow, it shows 'Denied by quota check':

When checking the per-ip-shaper sessions, it shows packets dropped:

To resolve the issue, increase the maximum concurrent sessions of traffic shaper:

 

FGVM # conf firewall shaper per-ip-shaper

FGVM (per-ip-shaper) # edit 50Mbps-Shaper

FGVM (50Mbps-Shaper) # set max-concurrent-session

max-concurrent-session    Enter an integer value from <0> to <2097000>.

FGVM (50Mbps-Shaper) # set max-concurrent-session 100

FGVM (50Mbps-Shaper) # end

 

After increasing the max-concurrent-session, the user should be able to access the web site.
