What i did:
Set "max_players": "4" in the server.json for the headless server.

Observed Behavior:
After the 3rd player joins all new connecting Players are refused. Can be seen in console of the server.

Expected Behavior:
After the 4th player joins all new connecting Players are refused.

The server is a player as well I think.

Could be. But it is strange that the <server> would not be counted for the Game-Browser, but for the actual Player-Limit. So you would see a Server with 3/4 Players in the Browser and couldn't join due the Player-Limitation.

Fixed for the next release.
