The used limits api doesn't return the security group rules correctly, see the outputs:
nova absolute-limits
+-------------------------+-------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------+-------+
| maxServerMeta | 128 |
| maxPersonality | 5 |
| maxImageMeta | 128 |
| maxPersonalitySize | 10240 |
| maxTotalRAMSize | 51200 |
| maxSecurityGroupRules | 20 |
| maxTotalKeypairs | 100 |
| totalRAMUsed | 0 |
| maxSecurityGroups | 10 |
| totalFloatingIpsUsed | 0 |
| totalInstancesUsed | 0 |
| totalSecurityGroupsUsed | 0 |
| maxTotalFloatingIps | 10 |
| maxTotalInstances | 10 |
| totalCoresUsed | 0 |
| maxTotalCores | 20 |
+-------------------------+-------+
The output should including the totalSecurityGroupRulesUsed
