Explanation

When strict_pool_quota=false is set in server.conf, individual pools are allowed to exceed their allocated quota by borrowing from unused capacity in other pools, as long as the total license volume is not exceeded. Since the combined usage across all three pools does not surpass the 1000 GB/day master license, no pool triggers a license warning. Warnings are only issued when the overall license cap is breached, not individual pool limits, under this setting.
