How to allow limited access to ssh and limit also log messages

I tried the rich rule: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule service name="ssh" log prefix="PREFIX-SSH-PORT" level="info" limit value="6/m" accept limit value="3/m"' This is to limit access to the ssh service from one source to 3 per minute, but allow 6 log lines per minute to syslog. However this does not limit access to 3 per minute, in fact I experience unlimited access and only limited, more than 6, log lines in the log.
