mod_throttle not working

I am using a policy (to test out mod_throttle) with in a <VirtualHost> directive (using Apache 1.3). I am trying to use mod_throttle to limit the transfer to 25 Kilobytes per 30 days (just to test it out).
So I used the following policy in <VirtualHost>:

ThrottlePolicy Volume 25K 30d

Then I viewed how much transfer I had used by going to mydomain.com/throttle-status and saw that I had used over 418% of the alloted 25 Kilobytes.

At this point, the mod_throttle documentation says that it stops all other transfers from taking place, but I can still go to my website and view images, webpages, etc. Why is mod_throttle not stopping further bandwidth transfers?
