The max states counter is kept on a per-rule basis; when you reload the ruleset, rules which still have states associated with them are not actually deleted; they remain there, and states continue to reference them for information such as timeouts, logging, etc. This means that the old states do not point at new rules which are loaded (as we currently have no good way to match old states to a potentially different ruleset). Settings in the new rules do not affect the old states, and they are not taken into account for max limits, etc. They are, however, counted it the global state limits. -Ryan
