[Rejected] "Number of Allowed Actions" not respecting retroactively submitted context.
I noticed that if I set a number for "Number of Allowed Actions", the counter begins from the moment I have saved this setting, it does not account for previously submitted context.
For example, say I wanted to set a limit for "Create Photo", post-install, later in the sites lifespan, so I limit Standard members to 300 photos.
If a user already submitted more than 300 photos, this new setting will not take that into account and will allow them to upload an additional 300 photos layered on top of their already outstanding number.
This needs to be reevaluated as a function in UNA.
The idea is that when I ONLY fill out "Number of allowed actions", UNA needs to take into account the actions previously performed in regards to the context.

Hello @LoneTreeLeaf !
The UNA Mem Levels actions operate analogous to legal principles, lacking retroactive implications. Implementing your suggested approach would result in an excessively high database loading requirement to scrutinize all preceding content. Therefore, the optimal strategy is to establish limits from the outset of the configuration process.

Then this feature has been bugged to a fault since its conception if that is what is holding back such a suggestion. There are simple ways to not add such extreme overhead to the database, if the devs cannot see this, then I fear for the future of UNA.
Sites evolve and requirements that the owners envision change over time, if UNA cannot keep up with these standards, we all have something to fear when choosing UNA as a platform.
