What is agRateLimitCounterDroppedOctets?

This counter tracks the total number of octets dropped under this rate-limit entry because they exceeded the configured limits. Admins watch it to gauge how aggressively a rate-limit rule is discarding traffic, which can signal the rule needs retuning if legitimate traffic is being lost. For example, a sudden rise in agRateLimitCounterDroppedOctets after a rate-limit change would indicate the new limit is too restrictive for current traffic levels.
