8 years ago The feature's intention is to limit the mobs' current amount of instances not the overall spawned amount. Or to say it in a different way: If the limit is set to 10 for mob X, only 10 living instances of that mob are allowed to live at the same time.
And yea that is kinda broken atm. The source for this issue is the same as #17 and will be fixxed in the next update.
Also there is a command to spawn a custommob at a specific position that can be executed via console or commandblock. Have a look at /ccmob spawn.

The command listed for limiting custom mob spawning (/cmob limit) imposes a limitation on the mobs spawned in total, regardless if they no longer exist in the server or do.
I would understand if this is an intended feature, allowing only a certain number of mobs to have spawned in the server, however if it is intended I propose another command.
The issue I have with this command is that it applies the limitations of the mobs spawned to how many times it has spawned a mob. Should I set the limit value to 10, it would spawn ten mobs and stop spawning, yes. However, the spawning limitation prevents it from spawning more after any of the ten are killed or no longer exist.
The command I assumed it was, was a limitation on how many can be in the server at one time. For instance, should I have set the value to 10, then ten mobs would spawn and then stop spawning until one is killed. Once it is killed, the spawners that would be set up would replace the dead one. That is my assumption of how it worked.
Should this be an intended feature by you, I understand, however I feel a "current limitation" or a limitation on how many mobs are in the world/server currently is more useful and applicable for this plugin (especially since my goal was to ensure dungeons aren't overrun and that only one boss mob remains in a room at once).
I have attempted numerous ways to go around it such as using an execute command on an entity or player nearby to force it to summon on demand. There is no "spawn custom mob at location" command so that would be another suggestion I have for this plugin, as well as command block integration.
