Hello,
I am having a issue with QOSGrpCpuLimit error for an account.
We have an account (account name: chem_r) for a research group with 5 (eg.  A, B, C, D, E) group members.
We have 3 QOS partition
Name      Priority   GrpCPUs
---------- ---------- --------
    normal          0
    silver            0        4
      gold            0       16
  platinum         0      128

Account is assigned to Normal (default) parition
sudo sacctmgr modify  account name=chem_r set  qos=normal

Users are assigned to gold parition

sudo sacctmgr modify user A, B, C, D, E  set  qos=gold

If all five users submit the jobs with 4 cpus, the four are running and fifth will receive error  (QOSGrpCpuLimit).

Account have default partition and each user can run the jobs with 16 CPUs independently.
Why slurm is adding CPUs from each user of same group.
How can I fix this issue?

Nilesh
