Limit for attributes is applied before the max-depth filter about hermes HOT 4 CLOSED

Will look to spend some time on this shortly.

Max depth isn't a filter, it's an indication that you want to split out events into composite parts of the hirearchy. This is used with elektra to allow you to explore the events based on the parts.

If you placed limited after the max depth, it wouldn't make any sense as you'd end up cutting off parts of the hirearchy. You're limiting the number of events that are returned, not the parts of the hirearchy that would come back.

Does this make sense?

this is not an expected behavior, but your explanation makes sense. thanks.

I will update the docs to try to make this clearer.
