In traditional Grid use jobs don't request any specific limit (see the rollout thread on passing parameters to the LRMS) so it's usually only the default limit that's relevant - "max" is the most you can get if you ask, but if you don't ask you get the "default". If the "default" values are unset PBS defaults to the corresponding "max" (if that makes sense!); the old info providers reflected that but it seems to have got lost in the new ones, so indeed setting explicit "default"s should be a workaround.

Yes; I'm afraid the grid has developed a severe case of terminological
overload in this area. No wonder some detail went missing when the
software was done up.
