[slurm-users] Partition QOS limit not being enforced

Yes, I think you need AccountingStorageEnforce to have at least "limits"
set.

See the AccountingStorageEnforce section here:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html

We use Partition QOS like you described and our "scontrol show config"
shows "AccountingStorageEnforce = associations,limits,qos,safe"

Best,

Matt
