I don't know how you tried to implement this logic, but I would suggest to use a zone in the process flow. It can have both a general limit to how tokens can enter it, as well as subsets with additional contraints attached to them.

So the zone can limit the token count to 9 while also limiting the count of tokens where the sez equals 1 to 4.

It looks like you copied the queues and processor from a different model since there are a lot of invalid references and missing labels.

I think I see what you tried to do with the process flow. However, there will never be any tokens because the source only creates tokens at time 0 and the quantity is set as the subnodes of the processor, which won't have any items in it when the model starts.

I added the solution I suggested above to the model and removed a lot of the invalid trigger functions so the model can run without errors. I also changed the setup and process times of the processor to highlight how the process flow works a bit better, hopefully.
