[Openstack] Quotas... 1 of 1 instances? What's the deal?

Hi Kevin, Stackers,

In Horizon, my tenant/user clearly says that 10 instances is my quota, 
and yet trying to create a single server I'm getting this:

jpipes at uberbox:~/repos/tempest$ nosetests -v --nologcapture 
======================================================================
ERROR: test suite for <class 
'tempest.tests.compute.test_servers_negative.ServersNegativeTest'>

     return self.request('POST', url, headers, body)

205, in request
     raise exceptions.OverLimit(resp_body['overLimit']['message'])
OverLimit: Quota exceeded
Details: Quota exceeded: already used 1 of 1 instances

But there are no instances at all on the box:

jpipes at uberbox:~/repos/tempest$ virsh list --all
  Id Name                 State
----------------------------------

When I check the DB, though, I've seeing the following:

mysql> select project_id, in_use, reserved, until_refresh from 
quota_usages where resource = 'instances';
+----------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+
| project_id                       | in_use | reserved | until_refresh |
+----------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+
| 287a92da0cf14a27a43c8737417b029d |      0 |       10 |          NULL |
| f0c72dea9fda459aac64de460300e1ec |      0 |        2 |          NULL |
+----------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

What's the deal here? Tempest needs to create and delete servers in 
rapid succession, and it seems the reservation system might not be able 
to keep up?

At a minimum, I think that the OverLimit: "Quota exceeded: already used 
1 of 1 instances" message should be updated to not be so obviously wrong 
with regard to the value of the resource quota itself?

Thanks,
