If holds for a patron category are set to Unlimited in 'Default checkout, hold
policy by patron category' but a holds limit exists in 'Default checkout, hold
and return policy', the latter will apply. To recreate:

-Set max holds at 5 for Patron Category A in 'Default checkout, hold policy by
patron category'
-Set max holds at 2 in 'Default checkout, hold and return policy'
-Attempt to place multiple holds for a patron in category A - you will be
stopped on the 6th hold.
-Change max holds to Unlimited for Patron Category A in 'Default checkout, hold
policy by patron category'
-Keep 'Default checkout, hold and return policy' at 2 max holds
-Attempt to place multiple holds for that patron - you'll be stopped after the
2nd hold

(In the test above, the circulation matrix has an Patron Category A/All item
types max of 10 holds.)

This appears to apply in 21.05 and 21.11.
